Subject: That's it I'm Done with Digital (for now)
So last night the hard drive on my 2.5 year old mac died. Don't even get
me started on the fact that Apple knew the seagate drive used on my mac
was prone to failures. My last backup was on Jan 30. So I dig out the
CD's and guess what. 2 out of 10 of the CD's have failed. I was so angry
I was on the verge of cursing.
As if to taunt me my boxes of negatives were stored right next to the
CD's. I pulled out a box and looked at a sleeve, a softball game from
1982. Still looking good despite spending almost 30 years in a dark
closet.
So I think I'm going to take a break from digital for a while and shoot
only film. I know the data loss can happen in any medium but after two
devastating losses in the past 4 years I need to get back to simpler
times.
You have my sympathy. I haven't had a HD failure lead to data loss yet, but
I have noted that several CDs of files have gone south recently.
I'm trying to head the same way you are.
I'm tired of the high maintenance that digital demands.
