Four lousy bucks is $200 bucks a year. I have better things to spend that on -- like an external USB 2.0 hard drive to back up my laptop so I don't have to take hours backing it up to CDs. (My main computer took 25CDs and nearly 4 hours to back up. BORING, since I had to stick around to keep changing CDs.) With an external HD, set it and walk away. Cheap insurance, trust me. (Now I have to decide whether to pay $2,000 to get the data recovered from my crashed HD, or just recreate what I can and say bye-bye to the rest.) You didn't even try to answer the questions I posed.
