Thanks, Larry.
I'll have to keep an eye out in the future for deals on hard drives, for
sure. Storage is getting unbelievably cheap. The enclosure I got --
which I believe is adaptable to SATA and SCSI drives -- supports up to
3TB. So, I should be good to go with it for the foreseeable future.
I wouldn't mind having a Flickr Pro account, but I have a relatively
slow internet connection, and the thought of uploading a significant
number of full-sized jpgs. with it leaves me less than thrilled. I have
FTP access to practically unlimited server space, though, so that's
probably my best option as far as remote storage goes.
As for the size of the files -- they're fairly small. My tendency was
to re-size down to 1600 long-side as a fairly manageable file size for
uploading, working with my limited computer resources, and a reasonable
compromise for prints. I should be in much better shape for next year's
album here in a couple of weeks, though.
Thanks again for the info!

Every so often Fry's will have SATA drives for about $50/TB, you can buy an
adapter that converts a SATA drive to a USB drive for about $20, so for $120
you get 2TB of external storage, and when you need more, you can buy another
SATA drive when the price has dropped to $25/TB.

I really would love to submit something this year, but all the shots I've
taken that I feel might be worthy of submission have been resized down without
preserving the orginals -- in order to save limited hard drive space. :-\ It
wasn't the smartest thing to do, obviously, but I didn't have a whole lot of
choice at the time.
For about $20/year you can get a pro flickr membership and get offsite storage
for all the full size jpegs that you want.
I hope to have something worthy of submission in time for next year's edition.
But, I'll just have to chalk this year up to learning experience.
How badly downsized? You could try sending Mark your three best and see what,
if anything, he can do with them.
