Ani I know how devastating a computer wipe out is. It happened to me on a 2 yr old computer and took me totally by surprise. That's one of the reasons I started a blog to upload my creative photos off my computer as a backup and act as a journalistic timeline. I really should get an external hard drive like you have done too. Please do share some photos with us. It sounds like you have been fearless in using mixed-media and could give us some great ideas. Just a side note: my best friend lives in Cary, NC. and I visited your beautiful state in 2010.
