Truisms and Cynicisms
• Hardware fails because it can. Software isn't perfect because it is created by the same group of life-forms responsible for the term 'human error'. And ‘whoops...’
Accept this.

• Eventually your hardware will give up and/or your software will need upgrading.
At some point you'll have to spend some money. Accept this, too.

• If it's going to happen, it'll happen after 4pm on a Friday afternoon.
Murphy's Law #1.....

• The closer the deadline, the bigger the crash.
Murphy's Law #2.....

• The more you have crammed into your hard disk, the more you will lose.
See Sod's Law #53 below.....

Either way, you should feel very special....

• Sod's Law #53: You have more chance of suffering excruciating data loss than you have of winning Lotto.
You do make multiple regular backups of all your really important stuff, don't you?
