Bee,

On my home PC I copy all our data folders onto CD-ROMs. I also have a 1GB thumb drive that I keep all my data from work on. Our company gave everyone in Information Services a 1GB thumb drive.

What I need to do is scan all my important documents and burn them onto CDs. My wife suggested that having personal information on a thumb drive that you can lose is not a good idea. However she thought a thumb drive with important documents in a secure place in the house was a good idea. If you had to evacuate you could easily keep the thumb drive with you.
