I now have my files on three separate HDs and on two platforms, progressively in three formats (RAW, DNG and JPEG) and I'm starting on the DVDs tomorrow, time permitting.
40 years from now? My kids will have dumped all my junk for sure, which makes me laugh sometimes. Next will be transfering all the video tapes I shot when they were younger - this they might keep.

But it can be done!Personally, I would be fearful, of having just two... even more fearful of having one of them a hard-drive, for they hold a whole LOT of photos... and if it dies, you could lose years worth of photos! At least with DVDs, you only lose two to three hundred.As you might imagine, I am now in the process of reading all my old discs and checking to see if they're OK. So far, so good. :-)There's a lot to be said, for old negatives, kept in a dark, dry place! Why, just 10 months ago, I had a lovely 16x20" print made from a 1973 Agfachrome. I sometimes wonder if I'll be able to do the same for a nearly 40 year old digital image!Cheers! --- David Young, Logan Lake, CANADA Limited Edition Prints at: www.furnfeather.net Personal Web-site at: www.main.furnfeather.net ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
