Re: [cobirds] Re: History - Old bird checklists

My Apple computer was hacked last year. I lost everything on it and also my online backup with Carbonite. The hackers were interested in obtaining my mineral data. (I'm a consulting geologist)

I hired one of the best computer experts in the Denver metro area at $300/ hour to try to retrieve some of my data. 

I laugh now when I'm asked to use a more secure password. If someone wants to steal any data we have online, they can. The best password in the world won't make any difference. 

I will NEVER keep important records only on a computer and a digital back- up again. I keep hard copies of anything important. 

Put the checklists on eBird, but keep the paper copies.

You should add the checklists onto eBird, so that everyone can benefit from the data.

Does anyone know of a place that might have an interest in saving old bird checklists? I have a packet several inches thick of everything from Chatfield to Rock Creek to Durango to Bonny and I'm ready to give them away or to toss them.
