Hi Biddy and Tracy, I agree with the cloud storing. It has become an essential part of my life too. There are numerous service providers. I don't store personal things, obviously, but all work related files. It just safeguards you against theft - you get your data back, if you need them and the power is out, you can go to an internet cafe and access your work etc. You can keep you computer nice and empty and access you work from where ever you want when ever you want. If someone steals you computer - it's just half the annoyance. Hopefully you are insured and can get the laptop back? We have had at least 3 kids bikes stolen over the years, it's horrible for children....
