I would hope as lomg as a negative would hold out. I know the longevity numbers thrown out are from lab tests, but i would hope as long as computers are made to read my formats, or atleast give me time to upgrade them to what ever format comes along in the future.
30-50 years would be nice as a start number.<g> Although i keep all my equine shots, and only a fraction are sold, it would not be a disaster for me if after 10 years i could not access them. If no one is interested in 2006, what makes me think they'll be in 2016.:-) However for my personal shots that are recording York Regions farm/barn/landscapes and stuff of my family and cats etc, i'm doing, i would hope the data can be kept forever, and the good ones get printed so that would help in longevity i suppose.
