That is the direction I am going in, as well. Michael Reichman, on his
Luminous Landscape site, has a harrowing tale of images on CD Rom being
unreadable after two years. Fortunately he had a duplicate archive
which saved the day. I think that two hard disks are the solution, one
probably being portable for keeping in another place. My only effort at
filling a DVD with images took an absurdly long time to burn. I think
duplicated hard disk is the ticket at this stage of our technology.
Fast, easy and getting cheaper all the time.
