Most importantly: SAVE YOUR WORK! 

I always back my work up on my laptop, on a memory stick, and on "Dropbox". 

Dropbox is FREE, easy to use, secure web storage that instantly backs up anything you save on your home device. Once saved, only you can access it - from any web enabled device or place you choose. 

Even cooler, if you sign up via this link: http://db.tt/eV98Vmi      we both get an extra 500mb of bonus space! Go. Do it now.
