First of all, it's your own fault. If you have hundreds of dollars on the line at any particular moment and don't have a back-up, you're not thinking straight. Especially since dial-up back-up costs 20 or 25 bucks a month. I can, and have, run 8 tables on a 33k dial-up modem before, so it's perfectly workable and utterly cheap back-up.

Get yourself a battery back-up, too. Getting booted out of your games by your own doing is just not the way smart people go about it.
