Re: Why and How I switched to Canon (for those who care) long

[Herb Chong]

i have much more than Paul has, 1.2 terabyte RAID array. i've always stored 
my slide and RAW images at about 60-70 megabytes whenever possible. some 
images have been cropped or otherwise are not suitable for double resolution 
are stored at native resolution. the slide scans are native at 60-70 
megabytes.

why would anyone not store up res version? all of the processing has been 
done already. i've abandoned CD and DVD backup because they cost more and 
are much slower for large amounts of backup and restore. everything is on 
the RAID array and backed up to external drives of sufficient size, right 
now, a pair of 500GB drives. when the RAID exceeds 500GB of used space, 
there are 1TB and 1.6TB external drives to use. if i really wanted to, i 
could replace the 250G drives in the array with 400GB drives.

Yes I understood that, I was just suprised that the res-ed up pic was what 
he
chose to store as his archive version. It seems as if he must own a disk 
drive
company.
