Glad you didn't have any major trouble and you had everything backed up.

Plus I keep no credit card numbers or anything on my computer. Not even word docs. or anything else considered private.
Lots of people don't realize that word docs contain a lot of metadata info that can be a violation of your personal privacy.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, open up word the go to:
File\open
Where it says "files of type" set it for "recover text from any file" and then open up a word document you have had for a while.
You might be shocked with all the hidden stuff you see imbedded in the doc.

There is a cool freeware tool called "DocScrubber" you can use to remove that crap if it concerns you.
