You can also use that almost-useless 16MB memory card that came with
your digital camera. Copy all your recipe files (tax files, etc) to the
memory card, set the write protect switch, and put it in your underwear
drawer or safe deposit box.

I almost forgot, put it in an envelope and write on that what's stored
on the card.
