Just curious... I've got an offline Electrum wallet, never been online, and I'm stashing my ASICMiner divs there.  What would be the max safe amount to store in one wallet?   Cool

I'm extremely impressed with the security and I'm wondering if it should be a concern at all if I keep it offline.

Really, I'm just looking for something like, "Well, I don't know if I'd keep over 100 BTC in any one place, just like I wouldn't keep $10,000 cash in any one place!"    Cheesy

The truth is I think offline Electrum wallets might be safer than cash...

An offline wallet is probably one of the safest methods you can possibly use. You could spread the risk around by having multiple offline wallets on separate devices but that might be too much overhead device wise.
