The west coast is definitely out. Somewhere on the east coast would do nicely, but be careful. Another terrorist strike at the financial district of New York could also wipe out your music what if they got a suitcase nuke or other such device. You probably need to store it much further south, somewhere where there is a constant controlled temperature and humidity, say Florida for example.
Not south Florida though, that's too crowded & too much crime. Not west Florida either, too low lying and prone to flooding. What you need is to do is to store your music in a concrete block constructed building in the middle of Florida, somewhere around Melbourne. Yeah that's it, Melbourne.[8D]

*bump*

our computer got fried, too !!
Our processor more or less melted. Husband thinks the fan inside the computer wasn't working; the computer shut down on him after a couple hours of use. We can't even reformat or anything...it just...fried.

LUCKILY, though, we didn't lose much. We don't keep our music collections on the HD--that music is all burned to discs. We also had made copies of pictures and documents. We were good little monkeys. The worst I can say that I lost would be my "favorites/ bookmarks" of websites, and I guess email addresses.

Still, we gotta get a new computer.

philly,
I hope your computer troubles are ironing themselves out !
