"if it doesn't exist in 3 places, it doesn't exist at all" is an adage I do my best to abide by. I lost a 500mb hard drive in the 90s (oh no...all my funny Sound Recorder clips and funny pics!!) and have been paranoid ever since.

Digital storage is just too cheap nowadays to risk it. Cloud storage, too
