I burn them on DVDs and use iView MediaPro to keep up with where everything is. My new laptop will burn the new double layer DVDs but I haven't tried those yet. Since DVDs have been know to fail, I also keep files on separate hard drives that I store when they fill up. So far, I have 18 external hard drives of various sizes. The smaller ones seem more reliable and I've pretty much settled on the Seagate 120GB drives for storage of photo files. I use bigger 300GB drives for backup of current files on the computer's internal hard drives. >Note that I use Picture Window Pro, not Photoshop, so I end up >saving several different files at various stages of editing, rather >than having layers in one humongous file.

My new laptop has 4GB of RAM and is blazingly fast :-) I've really gotten spoiled and my big older computer seems to run like molasses now. Tina
