Yeah, I'm at 50 gigs of photos 35000+! Busy WEEDING thru them all,Jpgs, Tifs, RAW, PSD's.... using a prog called IMATCH to catalog them! I can't imagine burning these all to CD or DVD! Just when we got rid of all of them DAMN Floppy Disks...it seems the tech evolution breeds its own "infinite Loop" of redundancy so to speak! With the price of Harddrives these days, it just seems more cost effective to backup this way! Less of you time too! (Which is a commodity in itself!)
