Well, some videos aren't available either. I'd hate to know I had to |
| 21 |
find some of the ones that are available. Some take some diggin IF I |
| 22 |
can even remember some of them. |

My pics I backup to DVDs, two sets just in case. I keep those in a |
| 25 |
outbuilding. If everything here burns, I'm likely gone anyway. |

True but at least it would help if a drive fails. I've been there a |
| 36 |
couple times. |

My internet is way to slow for that. It would take weeks maybe a month |
| 51 |
to upload all this stuff. I have DSL but it is the basic package. If I |
| 52 |
were on cable or had a real fast DSL, maybe. Thing is, I really don't |
| 53 |
want some of my stuff on the internet anyway. ;-) |

I'll come up with something tho. |
