We're using both of them now. Just got another bill today from S3 for
last month - 66 cents.

Google Docs uses your regular google password. 'Forgetting' an
important password isn't an option, but I have no idea how easy it is
to get it back if someone hacks your account.

JD uses a regular password also. S3 is a lot more complicated, and
uses one regular password and TWO 'Access keys'. As I recall, these
were both long and random generated and you can completely forget
about just 'remembering' (or forgetting) them.

How secure is it? I really don't know nor particularly care. None of
our data contains valuable business secrets. And most of our data is
imaged locally anyway; I'm using S3 for the daily things like the
business's customer database.
