BounceBack Ultimate 9.0, $89

Some graduates will attempt to go into business for themselves, and for those that do, a serious data-protection policy is in order. We recommend CMS Products’ BounceBack Ultimate software, which will keep all your graduate’s data archived and bring his or her computer back from the dead. The software works with any hard drive (though the hard drive has to be bigger than the computer’s memory). It backs up new or changed files every time the hard drive is connected to the PC in question, saves various versions of each file, copies the entire operating system, and can hum along in the background doing its business while someone is working on the PC. When the unthinkable happens to the PC—a failed hard drive or corrupted operating system—the computer can boot right off the external hard drive. When it is time to restore the computer from the external drive to a new internal drive, you can pick and choose what you want to restore—or restore it all. The data can even be restored onto two computers, such as home and office PCs. Your graduate can rest easy because the precious business data on that external drive won’t fall into the wrong hands—it is safeguarded with 256-bit encryption.

A bit late. Everyone I know has graduated.

No high-school school or middle school years have ended, and no quarter-system universities have finished the semester yet. Semester system universities held graduation, mostly, last week. I don't think it is too late to be thinking about graduation gifts at all.

Here are my thoughts.

On the AIO PC: It's nothing more than a laptop without a battery. Nothing can be upgraded. Consider getting a Laptop instead. On the plus side, it is stylish.

On the HP Printer (from personal experience): Every HP printer I've used have had horrible problems loading paper. Consider Lexmark or Canon.

On the Panasonic Camera: Nikon's Coolpix and Canon's Powershot can be found at similar prices and are (generally) better cameras.

I must admit though, the N10Jc looks pretty cool ;)

Hey Quantumrand,

Thanks for you advice. What if I asked for you to find me a computere under $500 with a tiny footprint (no tower) and a bigger than 17-inch screen. Would you be able to do that? That's where I think the cheapie AIOs come into play.

Better as a wrist support pad. I have 3 PC's and I can only use this one 1 of the them. Really? I have to buy 3 separate Replicas for my PC's? In this economy? No thanks

There is a multi-PC version of the Seagate Replica, we just didn't review it: http://shop.seagate.com/store/sgat [...] .125882200

All I know is that the best gift buy would be great if I wasn't worried about other luxuries such as food, clothing, & shelter.
