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\u2019s what you\u2019ll miss most when your computer is gone. The old adage is that if you don\u2019t have 3 backups you don\u2019t have any backups at all, and I am sympathetically horrified to meet people who don\u2019t keep any backup, much less of the easiest sort, by using <a href=\"http:\/\/db.tt\/o3JDjft6\">Dropbox<\/a>, which is not only a backup but, best of all, an offsite backup (that\u2019s house fire and catastrophic flood waving at you). So do us a favor, and if you don\u2019t 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/db.tt\/o3JDjft6\">this link<\/a>, you\u2019ll 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\u2014even if it&#8217;s your last $100\u2014 to increase your quota. These are your poems (or whatever) and they need you to protect them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are like me, some of your most valuable possessions are stored in 1s and 0s on your computer hard drive.
