Now that I have a working desktop computer again.. I learned my lesson. I am now printing and storing all of my recipes in notebooks.
Eventually I'll get all of my recipes back, and get them all modified for my dietary limitations once again. In the mean time, every recipe is being printed and shoved in protective sleeves. I can make notes on the sleeves, and I can make permanent changes with a pen on the actual page before I fix the file on the computer and reprint it. My other files, like my unpopular opinions (a book) and legal files are also printed and filed in a safe place now.
And yes, I HATE paper waste, but I HATE losing my important files even more. So right now I have 3 electronic copies of most guidelines, on the desktop, on the tablet, and on the phone. I don't feel the need to waste paper on guidelines, they can always be downloaded again. If I lose some of the old ones, it's not a big deal.
