Online storage of your pictures,mail, or anything else is a disaster in the waiting.Anything important to you ought to be
stored on a drive you have right there.And make copies. Always run some firewall,anti-virus,and malware fighter.

Any program that promises to fix your computer for free is suspect.

put my pics and columns on thumb drives - and do hard copy prints for albums.

Demanding all my kids/grandkids do the same AND to write some REAL letters of at least print out some emails of their 'messages' to one another for 'forever keeping' - for example, like my daughter's FB message to us the other day:

"Going fishin!" (Alaska)

Note from friend: "Watch out for bear at bridge #1. He just chased my friends!"

"No worry, Billy's got his gun."

The our next message from her - a pic with her hand in a fresh bear paw print, and a pick with her and two huge salmon she caught. Those are memories that shouldn't be lost.

I show them photos Of my great great grandmother taken in the mid 1800's - and a stack of ribbon tied letters from my grandparents that they wrote in the '40-50's and ask them: "Do you think you'll have access to your photos and memories that are locked in you PC - even 10 years from now, let alone be able to hand down to kids and grandkids? This technology changes overnight - it was only "yesterday" that we were using VHS and floppys. Things are becoming obsolete almost faster than new things come in.
