Let me clear up one thing. I'm talking backup when referring to external HD. My near future plans are: First step: Get a brand new HD in the computer, for picture files only. Next step: Get an external USB HD for backup picture files only. This drive I will only have connected when using it. When not using it, I want to store it somewhere away from the computer.
When this is done: Start printing out the picture I really want to have in future. (At the moment I only have a crappy DeskJet printer, no point in printing pictures at it.)

We now know that CD's is not a reliable format, and for DVD's we don't know anything yet. I generally avoid new technology. I prefer to let others testing it out. That, besides money, is the main reason I waited so long before going digital. An extern HD sounds like a better solution than CD/DVD to me. As far as I know, they don't age when not connected and stored properly. I think Mr. Reed (don't know your first name yet) is into something when suggestion storing prints.

At least not with important pictures. I store as camera original jpegs and RAW, with backups on DVD, and optimised Photoshop files. Adobe will be around long after I'm dead.
