Dante,

#2-I love having my data on an external.  Whenever I leave the house, I pull 
the drive and lock it up and don't worry about anything.  I know of at least 
3 local freelancers that had their CPUs stolen while in the middle of a job 
last year and none of them had a backup or a copy of their data in a safe.  
They were the ones who were screwed.
