Thanks! I did get all of them. I promptly burned the whole disk to a set of DVD's
I'm going to do some redundant backups as well. Another thing about storing photos on line in general is that if you don't have internet access when you need them, you are SOL. Also, unless you have a high speed connection, it may take you a long time to download them and upload them. I like to save raw files, which may be 2 or 3 megabytes. If you go to the cups and balls museum site, you will find that there are 991 images on that site. about half of them are thumbnails, the others are larger. The largest photo on the site is about 80K. There are a couple that are around 55K. The rest are in the 20K range. I used to have larger pictures, but I realized that I needed to make the pictures practical for people to look at. If you go through the dialup side of the gateway page, you will see thumbnails which call up the higher res photos. I still have the originals of all of those photos, plus the rejected ones. So we are talking about, say, 2000 photos of raw data. Multiply that by, say 2 meg. That's 4 GB of space. That's a lot of web space, but not a lot of hard drive space. It's less than 1 CD-ROM. So, I have a lot of CD-ROM's and DVD's that I will be storing more files on as the acumulate.

Just for the record, You can lose film negatives and prints for a variety of reasons. Lost in a move, water damage, fire, MICE!, careless storage, etc...
At least w/ digital it's relatively easy to make redundant backups of everything. THe trick is labeling and storing the disks in such a way as to be readily retrivable. For some of my "absoulutly can't lose" files I keep a set of CD's at the office. THat way if something (God FOrbid!) happens at home there is a set elswhere. Keeping backups right next to each other always seemed like tempting fate.

I also have a set of duplicates in my office. My office is in my home. It's a short walk.

Hey BP,
I thought you had computer problems last month. Is there something in the water in Houston? Don't forget that the magical solution is still out there(MAC). Last month I bought a 300 gig hard drive for redundant backup. These things are really cheap now. Peace, Parson

I bought a Seagate 300 gig drive for a backup a couple of months ago. It lasted precisely long enough for me to copy some files to it. Then it died. Here's the irony of the situation. I can't send it back to Seagate. It has files on there that I don't want ANYONE to have -- account numbers, passwords, you name it!

Yeah. We really saw the cameras this last season, including the folks using the video function to capture the end of tricks and the dangerous juggling stunts. My tactic is to bring the camera person or persons to the front, let them shoot the pix or video clips and then ask someone to take a picture of the picture taker and me together. Just before the count of "3"..I hold up my website name on a 2 foot cardboardl; black with big white letters. People laugh but maybe remember!
