We're not former IT specialists with 25 years experience, but we're not
Harry Home Computer User either.  Frankly, we're all over the map in terms
of our sophistication and savvy when it comes to computers.  But most of us
are smart enough to know that we need to back up our data because it's
mission critical - our livelihood depends upon being able to access that
information.  I believe most of us do backups, but I can't speak for
everyone.  But then again, neither can you.

Thank you for letting us know you think we're a bunch of drooling idiots.
What a excellent strategy to convince us all to use Linux!

Yours truly,

The Great Unwashed

BUT, NOW, You are assuming a great deal.

The average home computer user NEVER thinks about backups UNTIL they are
needed.

Furthermore, probably at least 95% (or higher) of them don't even know
what a backup is, let alone know that you need the "users" folder.

For anyone who backs up their data (which should be everyone!!),
