My safe deposit box costs $38 per year. Seems cheap to me. What do
you consider cheap?
Family will keep a copy of a CD for free. Free is cheap! It's
availible on weekends too! Day or night if need be. I also have a
couple of fire safes in the house and live in a community with 24 hr.
fire protection. So I can also keep a copy.
CDs cost money. A Gmail address is free.

Gmail allows up to 8Gigs of storage (last I heard). Send an email to
yourself with the pictures in a ZIP file attachement.

The documents are, like Elvis, out of the building. They are accessible
anywhere to anybody with the password. They are easily updatable.

Where's the bad?

I already own a dozen re-writeable CD's that can be copied and erased
over
and over like floppy discs. Nothing wrong with online storage. I offered
it because I'm sure I'm not the only one that has them setting around.


Re-writable optical media is probably the worst possible choice for
reliability (next to floppies).


Even the write-once media got some bad press a few years ago in InfoWorld
and/or PC World.


Some brands are markedly more reliable than others. Verbatim are
excellent.
