Thanks Lee and Jonathan, I will implement what you both suggest, I want to get a data fireproof safe, ( I have two now but they are small and don't have the room to keep much of what I need). I would have gotten one already but they are so darn heavy I don't know how to get it downstairs without tearing up the floors. I want to do the multiple disk change out into the fire safe every couple days. We'll see but those of us that have relied on MobileMe are going to have to adjust quickly.
