And what happens in Florida?! Hurricanes sometimes, but most often we get ‘rolling blackouts’ and brownouts in the summer. Constantly. Having reliable power is a myth at least 4-6 months out of the year. I would much rather know I could instantly pull something out of a file, than be cursing about not being able to turn on the computer!!!

Quicken, for example, allows you to scan receipts and attach them to the entry recording them. I love having everything in once place and being able to access it at a moment’s notice.
