My first exposure to your emergency binder, Blast. And as was said so often then, "Wow!"


Re: electronic storage: Electronic form is fine as a backup method, but no one should rely on it for their primary copy. Think about how fast storage methods change. Do you have any 3.5" disks laying around anywhere? Does your computer even HAVE a 3.5" drive?

Sure flash drives and CDs/DVDs are all the rage right now, but what about in ten years? Ten years ago, how many of you had even HEARD of a flash drive? Or had a CD burner in your home system? And how are you going to read a thumb drive or a DVD while you're on the road? What if you were about to plug in your laptop for recharging, so it only has about 15 min left on the battery?

Electronic storage is easy to update, but for safety, print it out and put it somewhere you can reach quickly, that EVERY responsible family member knows about.
