that's why I have 20 or 30 cd's of images. I download the camera onto the computer in a folder, and immediately burn them to CD. Then I go through the cd and reload the ones I want to work on, after post-work, they're saved on another "finished work CD" That way I have multiple backups of images and at about 25 cents a blank CD, it's cheap to do as well....the only problem is which CD is the picture of the little boy with the dog and rabbit on? kinda thing...
