    To be honest I don't want to rely totally on technology. I used to do our finances on spreadsheet, but the last time the computer crashed I lost all that information, so I've gone back to a cashbook for that.

    Photos - I prefer to be able to hold them, and I'm trying to organise a photo album for each of my children. We had loads on computer, but that last crash meant we lost quite a few of them.

    If you have all your music, books, finances, addresses, etc on some piece of gadgetry what happens when you lose it, break it or the memory crashes? I don't fully trust gadgets.

    I keep my finance spreadsheet on google docs and my photos on picasa so I can access them from any computer and nothing is lost if my computer breaks. :)
