HI E, 

That is great if they can get most of your data! 

I have two USB drives now and a USB memory stick for the little stuff I want
to take with or work on one or the other of my computers. IT works great for
editing books. 

There is an old adage about backups. 
There are two kinds of people that need backups. 
Those that do them and those that don't. 

When I got my first computer one of the first programs I learned well was
the backup program. I use to back my Mac up on floppies. I had a double set
which I alternated and ran a backup religiously every other day.

I have learned more about my computer crash.  It was not a virus or a 
worm.  It was my hard disk going bad.

Fortunately I have much of it backed up on a portable hard disk.  I must 
say i find portable hard disks marvelous.  it is possible to hook them up 
to a USB port where they function just like a hard disk inside a 
computer.  They make backing up files and moving files from computer to 
computer a snap.

As for being careful, I do know folks suggest the use of routers to stop 
certain kinds of invasions as well as software-based security such as 
anti-virus oprograms and spy protection.  Everybody has their own ideas 
about which specific pieces of hardware and software work but many are free 
or very low cost and can be set up to function in the background without 
any or very little action from the actual computer user.

The good news is they think they can grab everything off my old disk and 
give me a new one.  No idea quite when the computer will be home.  We are 
in the middle of a snow storm so scheduling in the area is going to have to 
wait a few days.
