You need at least DVD's, preferably the new two-sided ones. Even better, get some external hard drives - 400GB's or so and fill those up. Use a cataloguing software like Extensis Portfolio or IView Media Pro. I used to use Portfolio but I have switched to IView because the thumbnails are better. You can find anything, anytime. Save it by date or by project information and the cataloguing software keeps up with where it is, whether it is a DVD filed in a hanging file, or an external drive disconnected. Storage costs are getting cheaper all the time and I'm looking now at services that offer off-site storage for fairly cheap prices per Gigabyte! I'm waiting for the Terabytes ;-) Tina
