Hello, I'm very interested in Bitcoins and bought a couple a month or so ago. I'm getting more confident in the potential that Bitcoin has and I really want to buy a bunch more. However I'm not completely confident with my security set-up

If your USB drive is a LiveOS (e.g., Ubuntu), then use that and copy copy of the html from BitAddress.org

Then disconnect internet and boot to the LiveOS and load the html.

Print a few pages of paper wallets. Print 2 copies of each.

Reboot.

Fund each with sane amounts (e.g., no more than 25 BTC each).

Store one copy in a secure location. Store a second copy in another secure location or give to a loved one to hold on for you.

When you want to spend, from a secure computer (or using the LiveOS but connected to the internet), grab one of the paper wallets and redeem on Blockchain.info/wallet (import private key). Done.

If you are talking more significant amounts of funds, there are additional approaches:
