Surely now. Where's the fun in that? I keep the copies on. . .wait fer it. . .floppies! Quicken anyway, my mail takes up too much space. I back up all of it to an external drive (so that's three copies of Quicken). >But why all the bother? If you have broadband, just keep these files >"in the cloud". Eff the cloud. I'll keep my files at home where they can get a front row seat to the fire or flood or stupidity. (-: I've been computing since Win 3.1 and haven't lost anything yet (except maybe on Zip disks "back in the day"). >I still cringe a bit too when a client sends me a U3 flash drive.

About all I do with it is a secondary mail account on Thunderbird, and don't check that all that often. -- R:\katan ------------------------------------------------------------ LET'S GO METS!!
