When I copy my photos to my laptop, I put them in a folder structure
like this:
2006
01_Jan
02_Feb
03_March
And so on. I index them all with a piece of software called iView.
Don't know if there is a PC version but I'm using it on a Mac with
good results.
As the harddrive gets too full, I can take a few months at a time and
archive them to a DVD (two copies, please!) and an external harddrive.
Sure there are duplicate filenames, but they are almost a year apart,
and in different folders, so it doesn't matter.
Any galleries/albums/websites that I construct with my photos are
dragged into iPhoto and worked on there. But the "originals" (kind
of like the negatives from the old days) stay in the YYYY/MM folder
heirarchy permanently.
