ATM Antics: One More Thing To Worry About

There was a discussion this afternoon on the first hour of WAMC's VoxPop about mankind's venture into the digital realm. One caller referred to herself as an "analog girl." I have lots of analog equipment that I have no intention of replacing. This morning I found a couple of links to a story that North Korea was working on a digital "pulse" bomb - anyone familiar with the Dark Angel TV series knows what that could lead to...
My advice, as always, is to keep an analog system as a back-up. Although the "Dark Angel" TV show is fictional, imagine the impact if some sort of pulse bomb succeeded in wiping out all electronic data!
