Agreed. And the nice thing about storage media is that they are always increasing in size. It took a long time to transfer information to 60-70 floppy disks, but then Zip disks came out that could hold all of those files on one 100MB disk. Now we have CD's that can hold 650MB of data, not to mention the 1GB+ media out there. Transferring data will only get quicker and quicker. How hard is it really to spend a few hours (or even an entire day if you have a huge collection) every 20-30 years transferring your data? Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
