I guess that what I was thinking was that you could have at least two wallets. One that would be like a savings account where you would hoard bitcoins as an investment and one that you could use for online commerce. The savings account one would be in back up form only. NOT on your computer and therefor safe from hacking. So if your wallet is hacked, you would only lose that which was on your computer. Idk, I'm new to this and I'm trying to make my investment as secure as possible.
Okay - this does make sense and is indeed a sensible approach - a "brain wallet" is also something worth considering for at least holding a portion of the "savings".
If you want to be super secure you might want to consider buying a cheap computer and generate the savings wallet on it without ever connecting to the internet. The tricky part is getting the software needed onto this computer if you don't want to trust say a Linux distro designed for this purpose (there is at least one or two such distros mentioned in threads on this Forum).
Another way that this can be at least partially solved is if you use a brain wallet that is a single HTML page that can be used offline (
https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v1.6-SHA1-162d1ff4fd1e09222cbaca6c282672ee6c195e1b.html) but you still have the problem of getting that single HTML page on the PC.
If you don't want to trust using a USB flash drive to accomplish this then it is possible to get a USB to USB "serial cable" and then you would need to investigate using something like Zmodem in order to copy the file (I think the guy building Armory was looking into that very idea).
