Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

One simple solution to this is to back up to another external HD, and keep the drive locked in a drawer at work.

Steph, how much space are you talking about?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

About 60 GB.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I agree with the external hard drive backup and store in a fireproof safe or something. It likely will be the cheapest for that amount of space.

Here is a review of some services though:

I'm on the fence between the 3G and non 3G iPad. I have a Verizon MiFi that I've got a two year contract on, so I'm kinda leaning towards doing the non 3G version.

No 3G for me. I don't want the monthly outlay. Hell, I still have a first gen iPhone and it suits my needs just fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GC, I just read your tag as "Jesus had 2 cats."

I'm considering getting the 3G and just not getting a contract right away. The flexibility of having it available when I want it but not being locked in is pretty sweet.

I ended up preordering the non 3G 64 GB model.

Now I'm just waiting until April. Of course I will be out of town the day it delivers.
