I'm posting on my "Notebook Computer" ....which, I'm glad I have so that I can "semi-function" after losing most of my stuff.

I won't ever use CLOUD.. I don't feel it's safe. But, I can understand your rationale "for convenience it may make sense for some...but, not me. Part of my interactions is with Business use but, mostly Personal that I'd like to retrieve.

Thanks for your post. AND: you had some great advice chastising me for not "Backing Up my Files, etc" when my external back up had problem and died. I am at fault for that. I just was worried that I wouldn't be able to access my Hard Drive to have a Tech Person transfer........if my Mother Board or CPU was Fried.

Hopefully it is still intact and thanks for that info about Transfer.
