Ann, Like you, I still have boxes of prints and slides. Long ago I dumped about 1/3 of the slides for errors. No need to keep poorly focused or camera shake slides. I have most print and some albums I've assembled as well. On the digital side, I'm less ruthless - keeping all but the worst shots. Storage space is easy to manage. I have been toying with the idea of creating photo books as well. Something like the best 30 or 40 of 2008, or Kate's first 18 months. I too think the tangible picture you can hold is valuable. Regards, Bob S.
