One advantage of the old desk tops!
They are very hard to lose?
In actual fact you have to pay someone to remove them!
Cheer up, you are not lost!

Been there, twice in fact. I've lost one hard drive to lightning (along with ~5000+ poems) back in 1999. In 2003 I lost the second one. No warning signs, no funny noises. It just ... stopped working.
Now I triple-backup everything I create. Hardware is replaceable, but some stories and photos aren't.
If I may offer an inexpensive suggestion though, I've had fantastic luck with my Rosewill USB Card reader, if your new PC doesn't have a card reader (Newegg Link) - the only downside to it is it's easy to misplace since it's so small, but I tend to keep it next to my computer anyway.
Anyway, good luck with the new machine! The one up-side to this is that it's a chance to start fresh. That's how I always look at it when I'm forced to make an upgrade anyway :-)
Drop Box
I highly recommend it, although Google has a similar method of making content available (and safe) from any computer you can log in with. Drop box is particularly handy, because you can just drag files onto the icon and off they go, winging into cyberspace. When you want them back, you just reach in and pull out a plum or two, like Little Jack Horner.You can even restore past versions. The two Gigabyte account is free, which is about five hundred bucks cheaper than the Apple Time Machine, and Drop Box lets one share folders with specific third parties, so it's easy to set up a collaborative project.

Google Docs can do the same thing, but it's not quite as elegant. Of course, Google Docs has spreadsheets, shared document editors, and other fancy stuff.
Of course, one can also simply mail files to a Google account, but it's not quite as convenient.
