    See, this is why I’m sticking with pen and paper for the really important stuff.

    No offence to the apps themselves, I find them especially useful when I need to transfer info from one device to another. But I do not trust anything purely digital for long-term to permanent archiving, especially not Cloud solutions.

    Also significantly more reliable in case said info need not see the light of day. Just sayin’.

      Paper is just about the easiest thing to lose over the years and it certainly doesn’t last forever. You are one bit of water damage, one fire, one break-in,… away from losing it all permanently with paper.

        Same argument can be made about a hard drive, or a data tape, which is why I think we can all agree backups are vital in every type of archival action.
