I've heard this before but am not sure I understand the reasoning. Is it a question of whether the media will survive or is it the assumption that future software won't be able to read JPG? Should I also be worried about all the stuff I've got in ASCII text? If I got a for real print (not ink-jet) how would that change the question? Personally I like having multiple copies of my photo collection floating around on different computers, back-up CDs and CD's sent to relatives. I'm much more worried about losing the one negative in the shoebox. -- Andrew King department of multiple redundancy Ann Arbor Michigan technology is the answer, what was the question? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
