Roger!
This is kind of an aside: Get thee a scanner!
I thought it would be silly to keep a scanner for personal use. Then I started taking care of my elderly relatives. Having scanned copies of my Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney docs came in very handy.
Now I scan all of my bills and other important docs. I even scanned my license and registration so that even if I leave my wallet at home, I almost always have my phone. I can pull it up and show it.
Finally, if you take an extra few seconds when you do the scan, you can code any document so they are easily recalled for taxes and what not.
A decent desktop scanner is going to run a little over $100 (at least it did when I got mine.)
Every month I burn a DVD with the images, so I have a running log of all of my important docs in my fireproof gun safe.
It is easy to do. Relative inexpensive. And when you get the hang of it, it makes document recovery so easy its scary.
Just some food for thought.
Roger!
Thanks for the scanner info——time to call on one of my kids or grandkids for help and the c.$100.00 cost is nothing.
