I tend to save most photos to my hard drive I think I have well over 8,000 now.

I upload those onto my photo server (photobucket) when I want to post them again.

One solution if you do not want them on your hard drive save them to DVD if your writer and software will allow you to use the DVD like a giant floppy InCD or Direct CD are 2 the 2 software programs I know of.

A tip here though, copy the DVD/CD from time to time as I have had CDs just die I did not keep them in direct sunlight or anything but I do think they have a shelf life.

I have plenty of hard drive space - that is not a concern.. My computer hard drive is 250 & I have 4 externals with between 120 - 300 Gig each. It is just the time/organization/etc.AND the trying to find things. I would like to have one hard drive just family; one friends' on politics etc.. BUT right now all is spread over all of them & we are talking big projects to do this type of sorting.

I have been motivated to change gears to do work again on some books I started & then put on back burner. Priority changes will have to ensue..
