The other computer would by my laptop, which isn't online all the time.
The POP account would hold the backups until the next time I jumped
online. Not to mention, I could always have more computers checking the
same POP account, so I could have a couple backups to roll from. I
understand that Email is a bit out-of-the-box as a backup solution, but
why would that be so ugly? Because the size of each email would be
larger than the standard couple hundred k? Or are there other reasons?
