[Leica] easy digital storage solutions are the problem ... the BIG problem....

All this talk of film Leicas being less than 5% of the market makes me 
realize how this is going to be difficult for ordinary consumers. Digital 
probably isn't a problem for anybody on this list - I have four copies of 
every digital image I've taken since 1999, and more of some of the better 
ones,  but for people who aren't photography professionals, managing a few 
thousand digital snaps, I think, quickly becomes a problem. Where do you put 
them? How do you back them up? How do you find things?

Digital is fantastic if you keep your photos organized and consistently move 
to the next storage medium.

But what about people who aren't thinking of this? There's no stable 
equivalent, that I see, for the "ordinary" user, of stuffing a box of negs 
in the attic.

What do you recommend to casual users who have digital cameras?
