I would like someone to back me up on this:

I find it extremely difficult to believe that ANYONE could believe that
having NO restore capability in DigiGold is acceptable in ANY regard. Please
understand that I have a great deal of respect for Ian, his opinions, and
everything that he's accomplished. However, without the ability to RESTORE a
BACKUP, then DigiGold is WORTHLESS!!! Everyone knows that hard-drives crash.
Everyone knows that computer upgrades are ESSENTIAL. Without the ability to
restore a backup then DigiGold will NEVER be accepted by ANYONE for any
serious use because it simply will fail them -- probably when they need it
the most -- and who would keep more than a few grams of e-gold on hand when
they know that they will lose it as soon as their hard-drive crashes?

Sincerely,

Craig
