Don't have to panic until someone hacks Carbonite :-)

I'm going with the 2nd hard drive (haven't gotten around to actually programming a regular backup though). That way I don't have to worry about being hacked at a 3rd party site. Just have to worry about the real burglars breaking into my house..or fire or flood or tornado......or crazy ex-girlfriend.
