Well I, for one, can lay my hands on CDs I purchased more than ten years ago
in a few seconds whereas, I couldn't find my negatives from that timeframe
in a week. The CDs work no problem but the negatives will have been sitting
in a shoebox in the attic and some basements for all that time....
Assuming that the file formats are still accessible (not an easy premise to
grant) and that I don't have a fire or anything, care to guess where I'll
find pictures from this summer in ten years time? This CD ROM right here or
the negatives that I've not even "shoeboxed" yet, what do you think?
