Richard,
I can't tell from your photo whether your premise was a fact or a 
prediction.  About a year ago, I bought an external hard drive, with its own 
"brick" power supply, to use for a backup drive as well as a place to store 
my digital images.  Many of my images are also on CD, so I really have a 
backup for the backup.

When a rogue program seriously corrupted my C-drive, and I had to reformat 
it and reinstall my operating system and software, the photo files were 
untouched.  As inexpensive as external drives have become, I don't see how I 
can afford "not" to use one.
