Personal Digital Archives
Wednesday, December 26th, 2001
This is going to sound a little weird, but with the increasing size and falling costs of hard drives, my current personal digital archive strategy is to just keep my long-term archives (photos, documents, etc.) on at least two hard drives right in a computer, instead of burning CD-Recordables.
