I love love LOVE the SSD drive in my laptop for performance reasons (I can't ever go back, seriously). Emotionally I'm also glad it doesn't have spinning parts anymore, but in the end your laptop can still get stolen or break or fail. No matter what, in 100 percent of all situations, you need a backup. (Yes, I work at Backblaze, but seriously, you don't have to use our product, JUST USE SOMETHING!!)
In 1999, I knew my new girlfriend was the right one for me when she was excited about one of those fancy "Airports" from Apple. That Christmas I bought her a Palm IIIx.
I helped my in-laws set up a new iMac last fall (an upgrade from their ancient Dell tower running XP) and made sure to install Dropbox. Sure they may never use it, but it's only a matter of time until I need to do some form of tech support, and it's going to make my life immeasurably easier.
