Actually I don't think the questions are so bad and at least I have clear recollections of the answers to the questions that I choose. I'm not complaining. I still think its fantastic to be able to use the iPhone 4s.

That's why I gave examples of fake answers that *could* easily be
remembered.
But really, it's probably safe to write down your passwords and keep the
list in a drawer somewhere. The people who might exploit your passwords are
*not* the people who might break into your house to steal stuff.

I've got 1password but haven't ever used it. I'll try now. But I'd like to use the autofill feature. Why are you against it?

Because those few seconds, give you a pause to reconsider the purchase, think about if you are being swindled, or recognize a fake.
The best protection against encountering a piece of malware is not to connect your computer to the internet and removing all the input ports. But that is not practical.
The second best is when a human operator takes a moment to think.
Why do you think hackers have moved to "drive-by" sites to introduce malware. Because people are finally starting to recognize the spoofs, phishing, and fakes.
Yeah, you save a few seconds, until you get scammed out of some information that leads to the lose of hundreds of dollars. Then you will waste a whole lot more time trying to fix things, change passwords, close accounts and try to get back the money. All that time and money wasted just to save a few seconds.
Think people, think.

How do you remember the password to your computer (if you have one)? How do you remember your PayPal or other website password? How did you remember your iTunes password? It all seems to be the same principle, doesn't it? I totally agree with N.A. Nada, use a password vault app.
I was very skeptical about using a password vault app for a long time. I didn't want to depend on a particular app for all my passwords. In the end, I was talked into 1Password and have used it for 3 yrs. A password vault app is the easiest app to use for passwords. It becomes part of your life, just like using a computer, at least for me. I came from a DOS environment to a Windows environment to what I use now, Mac. Security has always been a worry for me. Even with Macs, I'm still conscious of security measures. Passwords and security questions are security measures that make the hacker work harder to get at your accounts.
This may sound extreme but there's only one way around passwords that I know of, don't use anything that requires a password. There goes using a computer and anything associated with computers. I'm not willing to give up computers, so passwords will always be a part of my life.

Thanks to all the suggestions. I watched the tour and it definitely sounds interesting. But the 2g isn't much, and after that it's $10 a month. Can't I do much the same thing with the Cloud, which has a considerably lower annual cost?
Thanks,

I use Dropbox for three purposes:
- exchanging files among several computers that are not up
simultaneously;
- having certain documents available at a meeting;
- having few files "sticky".
I currently have 87 MB in 147 files.
You could also create a Microsoft Live account (or perhaps more than
one) with 8 GB free SkyDrive space. (Look for the free SkyDrive app.)
» Existing Live (or Hotmail) users may have little time left to keep
their original 25 GB. <https://skydrive.live.com/ >ManageStorage
» Additional storage is far cheaper than with Dropbox. But SkyDrive
doesn't automatically synchronize.
Besides, I have a subdomain at my website dedicated to sharing files
with others. I send them the URL of the index file, and after a month
I remove them all.
(This is a paid website. I may be entitled to some home page with my
ISP too.)
Hope this helps. :-)

I borrowed that word from forum tables, where some topics or messages
stay at the top. By "sticky" files I mean: files that I want to stay present where they are: to be viewed or copied, not to be moved to a destination or repository.

Is Dropbox still giving you 250MB extra just for signing up? A few months ago I was given 300MB just for being a member. So Dropbox is somewhat liberal in giving away space. As a member, if you send invites to your friends and they sign up, Dropbox gives you extra space.
I really haven't used my Microsoft Live space much. From what I understand, the file size that can be uploaded is up to 300MB. Dropbox has no file size limit except for the amount of space a member currently has.

I have a little short of 1 GB, half of which is a photo gallery which I moved there from MobileMe several months ago.
When I did that, I sent information about DropBox, and a URL for this gallery, to some friends, and 2 of them signed up with DropBox, and I got another 500 MB of space for the referrals.
I have several hardware and software manuals in there, several "Take Control" e-books, some restaurant menus, and a bunch of other documents -- 95 documents and 455 MB.

New question about Dropbox

I had my files stored on Mobileme for a long while. Apple moved everything to iCloud except for storing my files. I have been looking at Dropbox but do not see a way to move my files from mobileme.com to dropbox? Any help will be appreciated.

Re: AT&T CEO bemoans iPhone unlimited data, iMessage
Posted by: "lwr32" whiterabbit32@gmail.com lwr0032

All the while I read the article I kept thinking the underlying message from AT&T was that they're not making as much money as they think they should or could make.....complaining about iMessage instead of their fee based SMS when the article says "which is basically free for carriers to operate as texts are transmitted through radio network's control channel..." I shake my head and wonder when business ethics changed from doing what it takes to keep customers to caring about money over customers.
