Luckily, I haven't lost EVERYTHING - I keep a lot of stuff on my external drive - my photos and all my music is safe, thank Gary the Duck! And I've also got my image collections and Photoshop extras there as well, which is a relief - it's taken me years to build all that up. So ... I'm getting my machine back tomorrow. Guess what yours truly is going to be doing all day? Yup, installing, installing, configuring and installing. Blech. Sheesh Angel … it’s SUCH a pain!

Mail-wise, for a company your size, you should think abour running Google Apps. You can configure Gmail on your domain for all your guys and then your stuff is instantly accessible even if your machines has a kaboom. .pst files are pesky but there is a little $10 app that will convert them into mboxes that can be imported into Thunderbird of Mail.app. I’ve done it personally for a friend who have over 5gb of pst madness and it all worked fine.
