Buy 5 Hd's....You'll have 5 copies and if you see technology changing, put it on the "new" tech....you'll be fine. The chance that 5 HD's all fail at once is zero. If that worries you, make copies of the drive on DVD's or Blu-Ray.
I have HD"s from 15 years ago that I just copied onto newer drives. I left the info on the old drive too, I have 5+ copies of all my data at least. Then the copy on my PC.
It would take a nuke hitting Detroit to destroy my data. If that happened (and I survive) I'd just head to my family in LA. I shipped them a drive a few years back that I check in on once in awhile. They send it to me sometimes to update but overall it's chillin' in LA safe.
If I remember correctly Virgin mobile is using cingular airtime. You are probably in an area that has strong cingular coverage. Overall there is not a company that rivals verizon. It's been proven over and over. It is a fact. We are a premium serivce, we are the highest priced for the least minutes, same as BMW doesn't compare price to Ford. We simply are a higher end service and are completely justified in charging more.......the only bad thing to say about verizon is they never have the newest high tech phones, which is changing as we speak. They are getting better, slowly.
I don't understand you people who change companies every 6 months / 1 year.
I have a phone it works and why change, it's a pain in the ass.
What you people that bitch about contracts don't understand is that when I sell you a phone your getting it for free/40-50 dollars and I'm paying 2-400 for it. I will just start charging you the real cost of a phone and you monkeys will then complain how much phones cost. So in order to make sure i make my money back, i must make sure u stay a customer. The 175 dollar cancel fee plus the price of your phone usually equals about what my store pays for the phone.
Also, the reason virgin, cingular, sprint, and everyone else stinks is because they don't spend the money on towers, testing and everything else verizon does. Dam america wants everything for nothing, personally I'd rather pay more and have a higher standard of service. Ok done ranting......
Virgin mobile is not cheaper. If you only call 2 people a day, sure. Pre-paid is usually double per minute if you break it down. I use 3400 minutes a month. You show me a pre-paid plan allowing that?......I use about 900 peak and the rest peak m2m. Also virgin phones are trash. I have a bluetooth, mp3, dual color screen, dual speaker phone, 1.3 mega pixel camera/video phone. You show me a pre-paid phone for 90 bucks that can do all that?.
AMEN. poisonjam these stores can kiss my hairy white ass. They will sell you anything and everything they can trick you into buying. They hate people like myself but prey on my parents and grandparents. I am just making up for the money they ripped off from grandma.
