They are now a little larger than a cell phone and very portable.

There is a phrase around here. "Technology will fail you always. Backup, Backup, Backup." Notice the backup is said three times? We believe in redundancy. Because important files should be stored in a couple places and at least one of them should be off site just in case of a major disaster. I DO NOT store using a "cloud system" (a website) to store my data. Why pay outrageous fees for something this easy, expose my data to possible sources of corruption, and take the chance whoever owns the data storage site stays in business?
