[LRflex] Re: A Space Saving Idea!

A list member wrote me, via private email, pointing out the error in my math...

What can I say!   I knew that!  Buy my fingers didn't!

Still, with large HD's, he's right.  25 gb not a huge amount.   But 
when you come to store your images on DVDs, it makes a huge difference.

I currently have 2x128gb and 1x300gb drives installed... all over 85% 
full!  And it's nearly all raw images!

Storage is becoming a problem!  (Besides, a side benefit of the 
smaller files is faster loading and operations on them.)

Cheers!
