Simple to
answer.
For example; one of my sisters-in-law was taken by cancer
about 9 years ago. One of her sons (currently living and working in
Uruguay) asked me about family photos and I told him about hat-boxes of
photos I had seen before she passed away, and I had planned to
re-photograph some of her prints for family - but never did. Yesterday I
spent time with his father my brother and the photos are still in those
boxes and available to be seen any time.
If those same photos were on
a computer hard drive the chances are very high that it wouldn't work
any more/that nobody would think of looking in it for anything/that it
would have been scrapped ages ago without a moment's thought by anybody
that it was worth hanging on to for any reason.
I have the same
dilemma to face. I therefore don't mind too much that I have a cabinet
of slides and boxes of large prints. Even now I have my previous
computer (W'95) with valued information on it and am unsure how to
migrate it to a current machine.
