I know (sigh!)  Before I started using external hard drives, I used 
DVDs.  I have several thousand stored in adhesive sleeves in hanging 
folders in my file cabinets. All of them are catalogued with iView so 
I can find anything instantly. In about 10 years of storing them that 
way, I haven't had a single DVD fail.   I know it's just a matter of 
time though.


>How much data do you have all together?

Too much!  Digitized already, I probably have 10T of files.  The 
problem is that I'm trying to scan and digitize over 500,000 slides 
and even more negatives.  Those take up lots of room!

I'll try to figure out how to do that ;-)

Thanks, Spencer
