What about cold storage paper wallets? Give them a search if you've never heard. That's probably the safest and most secure way.
Opinions? Most IRL people I talk to about bitcoin are in utter amazment when I create a new folder and create a new text document in it... This is the computer skill I am mostly surrounded by :S, so I don't really have anyone IRL to help me out.. Hence me asking silly questions.
I've read about doing the paper wallet thing but it's always nice to actually talk to people about it.

Here is a situation of how some coins are protected.. I'm wondering if they are protected at all :S.
Format laptop.
Download wallet on laptop.
Send coins from desktop to laptop.
Encrypt wallet.
Back up wallet file on External hard drive + usb
FOrmat laptop
How secure is this method of storage?
Any recommendations on changes to this method?
Should I still be printing off my private key?
