Don't get me wrong, I keep some of my documents in the cloud, especially the important ones, but the conversation was abount having iCloud be the primary storage for ALL your documents. I lost a ton of really good photos when they went from .MAC to me.com<http://me.com>. True I was warned, but was not in a position at the time to download all my photo library.

Thankfully I've never had a drive go bad, but I have written several novels, and I now have none of them except as memories: one went away with an iMac hard drive I didn't copy properly when I retired it, one went away with a zip drive, one went away with 3 inch floppies, and one went away with 5 inch floppies (and one went away with greenbar paper). I think my odds are better using a cloud service than my own efforts at maintaining things. gc _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
