There's also another way to think about this that may change your way of storage and backup. All digital media uncluding photos and other docs like mp3s and email can be safely stored on cds and dvds. Both of these are OPTICAL media and, by definition, are NON VOLITABLE media and therefore not susceptible to magnetic erasure. Using a double backup, they can be quickly placed in different locations for protection from fire and other perils making this system superior to any other system, such as the way you are doing it now. Also, eventually, with the exception of the rare printing of a photo to give to someone or hang up, most of your photos look MUCH BETTER on a computer screen, with superior lighting, a larger, easier to view format and the ability to quickly assemble them into a slide show. Now, instead of showing your photos out of their usual packet back from the developer, or taking the time to print them out so you can store them in some (god knows where) place, you can easily access them on your computer, not to mention taking your cd/dvd to another location for viewing. My particular dvd player, the Cyberhome DVD player, plays them right on my TV. While not as good as a computer screen, their quality is about the same as my old Kodak projector and movie screen set up. BTW, you can get this at any Radio Shack for about $50 or less on sale!
