Hi Bill
You have to remember that Hotmail is a web-based email service, which is
FREE,
if you want to save some file you need to down load it to your computer,
not theirs
then back up your computers files with a zip disk or even floppy disk, I
keep about
three different sets, so if one dies I have another set, I should back
up every day
but I do it weekly and for really important files , I make a hard copy
(print it)

Remember Back Up , Back UP and All computers die sometime, so don't
trust just one of them.
