My fellow MOSTONERS, For some great peace of mind, I recently subscribed to an online storage service, "Pedigree Vault", where I can backup my genealogy data, documents, pictures and any files I'd hate to lose to a power surge, harddrive crash or my house burning down. The site is very simple and easy to use. It would be inappropriate, so, I won't quote a price here, but for a very reasonable cost you can rent 1 gigabyte of space for a year. I sure sleep alot better now!
