Theft and Loss

When I lost my laptop I lost some stuff I was working on at the time. That was worse than having to buy a new laptop. I am now using a service called Syncplicity which can automatically synchronize and back up your selected folders to the internet. The first 2GB of storage is free. So far, it seems like a great service.
