I figure my rendering skills are always improving, so I hang onto the RAWs. 
Just the other day I wanted to print a picture of my dog who had passed away. I 
went back to a 2004 shot I had produced with the *istD. I looked at the tiff 
and felt that it left something to be desired. Went back and did a new 
conversion. The result was a much nicer photo.
