Well, I'm definitely ahead of the 1 in 100,00 print to taken ratio.

Supported file types is definitely a concern going forward along with storage. It'll be interesting to see where things go.

Thought of that years ago, which is why I just delete all my images after posting them here -- technology is transitory, but Nikonites will live forever. . .

"Does anyone remember the 256mb SD cards when today, a 4 gb is considered tiny?"

I remember having the 16mb cards, the 32mb ones were just too expensive for me at the time, and the massive 64mb ones? well that was just showing off, and why on earth would you want a 1gb one?????

Why is there no best answer button when you want one :D if i just could ask a favor though it would make most of us look better if you deleted before posting :D

My first real computer after my Comador 64 was a Dell that had a hard drive with 512 MB and a speed of 33. I though I was pn the cutting edge because most computers back then had a speed of 25!

OMG. Everybody panic.

While technology does march ever onward I'd like to point out you can *still* buy factory-fresh 3.5" floppy disk-drives from electronic super-stores such as Newegg, I know this because I just checked. Wow. How hard was that?

And just because Blu Ray made VCR's essentially obsolete doesn't mean all those VCR's suddenly quit working, or that VCR owners were left with no way to transfer the content of the older media onto the new. Author probably typed up that article on onion skin using his Royal Velvetone.

Whilst not disagreeing with the main gist of your post things are different now,a vast amount of images dont get saved in any form to be transferred onto the latest storage system,there have been many occasions that friends using there phone for images have told me when it gets full they delete old images,others say i upload them to facebook then delete them,i have negatives from my first camera nearly 60 years ago wonder how many will be able to say that 60 years after getting there first camera phone they still have images from it.

I still have a VCR and VHS movies that Mrs Blacktop doesn't know about.:encouragement:
