And I totally get your point. Having back-ups is the way to go if you want to protect your data. Whether you go for a paper/document back-up or an online storage is up to your style. But it wouldn’t hurt to have both.

It is too big and bulky. Think boxes of reams of printer paper. It gets to be too damn unwieldy.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-61474691767213146752012-11-11T13:35:42.154-05:002012-11-11T13:35:42.154-05:00Paper or plastic? :)Paper or plastic? :)Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-82524399273956682062012-11-11T12:37:35.696-05:002012-11-11T12:37:35.696-05:00I preference paper for most things.I preference paper for most things.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-1208160727136154412012-11-11T10:01:11.208-05:002012-11-11T10:01:11.208-05:00Thanks!
