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).

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 don't actually use the U3 much. About all I do with it is a secondary
mail account on Thunderbird, and don't check that all that often.
