I use external USB drives for photo storage, with a duplicate copy made every night. When I go away for a while, I drop off the backup at my bank safe deposit. I could not face the thought of managing a large number of DVDs and periodically recopying them as the formats become obsolete. Even if the disks last forever, which they will not, devides that can read DVDs will likely not be around in 10 years. On 10/8/06, Lawrence Zeitlin <lrzeitlin@optonline.net> wrote: >...
