	Is your tree only on Genes Reunited? If so, then it will still be there whether or not you have the same computer anyway, but if you want a copy, click on 'Import/Export Tree' on the left, choose 'export' and keep trying (!!!) and eventually you will get a 'GEDCOM' file which can be used in any family tree program, and you can save it on your computer and then copy it to a floppy disk, or a CD, or send it as an attachment, or whatever.
