I've always believed that the move towards storing tons of stuff on a
laptop is a bad one.... It risks data in multiple ways. I keep virtually
no data on a laptop, and just count on having network access in some way
to get to it, or I store it on a key I keep encrypted and on/about my
person all the time when traveling, or on an encrypted r/w cd or dvd.

There are so many other ways to transport data than on your laptop's
hard drive that I have a hard time making sense of doing so.

Just my 2c.
