Are we too dependant on PCs?

to be honest I also use it as a thumb drive.
I move it from PC to PC all the time.
Warning.....
USB 1.0 STINKS !!!!
2.0 rocks

I keep physical registers of my accounts, and periodically check them against my online banking register, so it's half and half for me there. Sometimes I don't turn on my computer...or leave it off for a bit and just sit with the silence. It's nice - though of course there is a certain comfort of convenience in having a machine on.

in the summer i am usually without the internet for a month. Which is completely fine so long as i have some supply of pron.

I also often fantasize about just living off the grid, going out into the woods of northern arizona, building my self i nice cabin, growing all my needs. i would like that.

Can get it via web or outlook in the future. Just watch the pst file size when doing it - over a couple of gigs and outlook starts to sulk...

Would you please elaborate (more details) on this? I would like to do something like this.

Sorry about that last post, the baby was crying and I must have hit send accidentally. I was just going to suggest looking at an online storage company. I found a few that offer unlimited space for $5.00 a month.
