Hi, Mafud. I'm heading off to work now, where I won't be able to check my
mail, but read what I wrote about the negatives. Most people might not
keep their digital files, but most won't keep their negatives beyond a few
years, either. Those who care about preserving their work will transfer
their images; those who don't see it as being worth the trouble won't.
No different from people losing or throwing out negatives (which, trust
me, they do all the time). And I expect it to be a *lot* easier in the
future to transfer data, as someone else already pointed out. So,
archiving digital images will be more work than archiving film, but
digital will last longer. Sounds like both ways have their merits.
