If you are like me, some of your most valuable possessions are stored in 1s and 0s on your computer hard drive. These little digits are among your most tenuous of possessions; a hard drive is not quite so prone to failure as a poem, but it is prone to failure. When was the last time you dropped a poem and broke it? And while no one is going to steal your computer for your poems (or whatever), that’s what you’ll miss most when your computer is gone. The old adage is that if you don’t have 3 backups you don’t have any backups at all, and I am sympathetically horrified to meet people who don’t keep any backup, much less of the easiest sort, by using Dropbox, which is not only a backup but, best of all, an offsite backup (that’s house fire and catastrophic flood waving at you). So do us a favor, and if you don’t use Dropbox, for the love of all those who might one day like to encounter the products of your mind, download it and let it do some work for you. If you use this link, you’ll earn me some extra space and you some extra space. And when you hit your free limit, pay for what is valuable: give Dropbox a $100—even if it’s your last $100— to increase your quota. These are your poems (or whatever) and they need you to protect them.
