Good topic to remind all of us to be prepared for computer changes, voluntary or involuntary. It should be something you have planned, documented, and most importantly, tested, retested, and tested again.
It is now nearly every day I have a customer who has a computer change of some sort and asks how (after the fact) to get the information from our web site (nope, we do not store data for our customers), from a "backup" someone made for them (geek squad type, how would I have any idea what the person did for them?), or from a hard drive they have in their hand that someone at the "computer place" gave them.
