“Bitcoins Can Be Saved On A Personal Computer In A Wallet File”

From Duncan Geere’s Wired UK article: “Bitcoins can be saved on a personal computer in a wallet file, or stored on the web in a third-party wallet service. On the one hand, that means that you’re not holding onto it yourself; on the other, it means that it’s safe if your hard drive fails.”
