I suppose you can see a bank as a secure server where you store your bytes representing value.
As long as you can afford electricity or there is a steady supply, or no viruses like stuxnet or flame (and we can thank Barack Obama for at least one of those, if not both - gawd help us from those 'protecting life and liberty')

Some respite from a wintry day...
a young Blair Parkes in an old All Fall Down clip ( Black Gratten ) with some glimpses of Chchch of yore...Word on the street is that one of All Fall Down's only EP Wallpaper Coat (on Flying Nun) sold on Trade Me recently for nigh on $300!!

Nicely Hermetic editorial spread - from Sub to Super...Strip mining...
Gerard Jones writes well about the whole saga of Cleveland's finest sons, Shuster & Siegel, in Men of Tomorrow - and Michael Chabon took a Pulitzer winning fictional look at it with The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Joe Cavalieri expands on it as well, hereStan Lee was always a company man, and has looked after himself well, Kirby did the bulk of the creative work on a lot of those early comics, and fast!
Ditto, Ditko...Knuckles the nun's good knock...
Good on Roger Langridge for his stand on this - I hope it doesn't impact on some of his tie-ins to Disney (ie The Muppets) now that Disney owns Marvel - I love that his first Popeye comic cover is a tribute to the first Superman story

to make sails, as
the Galley of State,
rudderless, drifts
reefward... -
