Laptops / Netbooks

Do you own a laptop or a netbook? If so, then you probably know you're at risk of leaving data available to someone if your machine were lost or stolen. Have you taken the initial precautionary steps toward securing some of your data and making it harder to access? Have you backed up your data so that you have it if your machine were lost, stolen or crashed?. Did you just purchase a new machine but didn't get any kind of a restore disc with it? If not, I can help you with any or all of the above.
