CD Boot failure on IBM Laptop

You're on the road with a hot presentation to give and your laptop fails...

What do you do?

Panic?

No, come prepared with a back-up of your presentation.

Lifehacks has an interesting back-up idea for your presentation - save the slides as images and upload them on Flickr. 

For my presentation back-ups, I typically have three back-up options available in the event of an unforseen disaster:

1. USB Drive with all the Presentation Files
2. Go-to-my PC remote access to my desktop harddrive from anywhere with Internet access
3. Hard copy that I can speak from

Another option that I've seen that works well is to e-mail your presentation to yourself at a web-based e-mail program like Yahoo! Mail or GMail.
