I completely understand!! I purchased an external hard drive, and I back up all of my designs (store them there)...I will frequently (especially when purchasing a set of designs) pay the additional fee (generally $5 or $6) and have the CD sent in addition to being able to download for immediate use.
If you do not have some alternate storage ( even copying all of your designs on a blank CD) you face the potential of losing your designs if your computer crashes.
I have a desktop and a laptop, and my designs are stored on both of them, as well as on the external hard drive......I have too much invested in those designs to take a chance on losing them.
