[1]ae40618b-b002-4c67-b418-e12998b8ff0cI still keep a fax
  machine around. I don't need it much but there's something nice
  about the whole lower-tech "paper-to-paper" teleporter-feeling
  going from a piece of paper to a piece of paper. And... after my
  mother's computer was hit by that nasty Random encrypter trojan
  (that encrypted all of her files - I got rid of the trojan
  yesterday but have to work on the decryption) it was a reminder
  of something: Overdependance on All Things Digital without paper
  backup can lead to much lost work.* Spreading your stuff out far
  and wide on the Internet utilizing all of their backup systems
  is the best way; depending too much on "one place" for
  everything can be dangerous. That being said, I was raised on
  the 'net since 1988; (when I first got a modem)* and never left
  it.* I'd never want to go back; but I've learned the importance
  of printing out what's REALLY important; hard drives die,
  websites go down,* and sometimes you have to recreate after a
  major failure. I still want something behind my laptop that
  types out my every character as I type it; I dunno why but
  that'd be cool.* Sorry trees.
