External Drives vs Off-site Backup Service

Object lesson today. He had backed up about 2 weeks ago to the nice, sleek, 2.5: external hard drive. Yesterday a virus ran amok and the advice (from another source) was to restore the laptop to a factory new install condition.
When we go the email account data set back in place, and then [...]

Nothing isn’t learnable, but what’s that time worth?

Nothing isn’t learnable, but what’s that time worth?
