I'm a psychologist who occasionally gets consulted on matters involving
public figures or matters in the press. I try to remove reports from the
computer (merely transferring to disks) but often have current matters
residing on the hard drive. One never knows when a crash will occur
which I cannot resolve, but to date I've not needed outside assistance.
