Well, some videos aren't available either. I'd hate to know I had to
find some of the ones that are available. Some take some diggin IF I
can even remember some of them.
My pics I backup to DVDs, two sets just in case. I keep those in a
outbuilding. If everything here burns, I'm likely gone anyway.

True but at least it would help if a drive fails. I've been there a
couple times.

My internet is way to slow for that. It would take weeks maybe a month
to upload all this stuff. I have DSL but it is the basic package. If I
were on cable or had a real fast DSL, maybe. Thing is, I really don't
want some of my stuff on the internet anyway. ;-)
I'll come up with something tho.
