If you can, can you please upload pix or keep them always up on a dedicated or private site? I'm reading back through some old posts, since I finally have the cash for some car upgrades, and older posts link to websites that have moved pages or those photo hosting sites that have shut down, deleted pictures, etc. So if the text doesn't describe what you are talking about well enough, after the link/photo goes away it's hard to know what to think of the topic or reply.
So this is just a request if you can do it, to think about someone reading the site about 4 years later. If it's uploaded here I imagine it will stay with the posts and that would help tremendously. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)
Thanks all,

I've got a 16G flash drive/jump drive (whatever you want to call it) that I copy all my files onto monthly. When my laptop crashed it took all of ~8 minutes to put all my programs, settings and files back on the computer. To make sure I don't loose the little flash drive, I keep it on my keychain, and if I ever loose my keys... about every other month I copy everything onto my other 8G flash drive which I keep in my room by my calipers, micrometers and model building tools/paints. I also try and save all my pictures to my photobucket account so I can host my own pictures. Between all that I never really had a problem.


EDIT:
If you wanted, you could even keep a flash drive in a safe to protect your files in case of a fire or robbery or something. One of my friends houses unfortunately burned down a few years back and they had all their computer files on an external hard drive and in the safe so everything was ok.
