I understand that binary values are the basis of computer "language".  But the data is still written to a "hard drive" which is just another "disc" that looks like a glorified version of a CD.  A jpeg file looks the same whether it's on the computer's storage space or on a CD, at least to me. Or is there a "secret" place somewhere in the computer where this "jpeg" is permanently stored as a binary file?  I have had data files go bad on the computer . . . they could not be opened.  I've also had registries get messed up and other stuff go awry.  Are you saying that the "1's" and "0's" can never be 'accidently' transposed or eliminated?  My apologies if this sounds simplistic. Just my opinion and I'm always willing to learn.</p></blockquote><p></p>
