No problem. Many people send the replies to me directly and I am not sure 
whether if they are full aware of that (intentionally off-list) or this 
is just the famous Gmail's webmail "non-reply-to-list-but-sender" 
error :-)

Was maybe OT... but I asked you why you were so reluctant to use 
differential backups on her computer. I couldn't understand "why" because 
today backup tasks are just "point-and-click", I mean, they are easier to 
achieve than any image generation of the whole disk, so they are suitable 
even for many non-savvy users :-)
