Good advice from 'The King'

Fortunately this has reminded me of some excellent advice recently dispensed by my colleague Gavin King. Here are his words of wisdom to help you stay sane in the event of catastrophic hardware failure. Follow these steps now. No, not tomorrow. NOW!

Saving your IE Favourites
Go to “File – Export…” in IE to save an html file of you favourites, cookies, etc
