<p>Of course, a person should not have an affair if they don’t want anyone to know. And for the record, I have not had one. I am not talking about myself – just speculating on the problems that can arise from servers giving over passwords. Some servers refused to do it until it went to court. Even then, they put the e-mails on a CD – would not divulge the password. Whose property is the password?</p>
<p>I keep a document file with my accounts and passwords and the accounts and passwords of my kids’ accounts - the ones that they give me. In general, anyone with access to most of our computers can get access to it if they know where to look. Our son knows about this document as he has seen me update it. I think that our daughter knows about it too.</p>
<p>OK, I am SO not 21st century…all the passwords to our tech/computer stuff is written in a manila folder.</p>
<p>Computers: two desktops (one for DH and me, one for the guys share). Parents get priority on the guys’ desktop if needed. Generally not an issue. One family laptop, S1 has a laptop he won in HS, DH has a work-issued one. </p>
<p>S2 will probably get a laptop for college. We have been contemplating a netbook to take when traveling.</p>
<p>DH has an iphone and a work-issued crackberry. Guys and I have generic cell phones. None of us text that much.</p>
<p>I used to be a HUGE letterwriter, so the concept of my emails disappearing is a disastrous prospect in my mind. I want that documentation! (It’s the historian/journalist in me.) I just never getting around to printing…I have years of early advocacy work and writitng about my kids I’d hate to lose.</p>
