You'd do better not to reply if you're going to make such stupid and ignorant
statements as that above. If my computer burns up, then what is on it is lost.
BUT that is not where my image files are stored, nor is it where my databases and
spreadsheets are stored either. They are on several copies on a removable HD and
on CD's and will shortly be on DVD's. That's at least four copies additional to
what's on the HD - and they are all *identical*. Let's see you make four copies
of every negative you have, with NO loss of quality. Can't do it? thought not.
