I gave up once..... I don't think I will do it again.
The image is certainly not secondary for me, Keith. I like my tools but I would throw them all away for one good pic. But you're right about the forum : most of the threads are talking gear and only gear.
I wonder, why is this long time data archival such a problem? Do people think that TIFF/JPEG evaporate over time? 🙂

I bang the film drum as much as the next man, but as a software developer, the long term archival argument does not hold water for me. A fire in my house would destroy all my negs, but my off site backups would be fine.
Exactly what I meant ... the IT professionals have the time, knowledge and experience for proper data storage, the "normal" people will make a back-up once, forget about it and voila ...
I have tried to get acces to simple scientific raw data from the end of the 90s, storage media unreadable, backup units broken. Simple plots on paper where still available, though ...
I'm very glad you feel that way. 🙂
I rode motorcycles most of my life until a few years ago and learnt to enjoy riding a three hundred dollar CB 100 Honda as much as my Harley heritage Softail when I had one ... the important part to me was motorcycling ... not what type I was travelling on.
Dave's argument is hot air IMO! 😀

Yes teriffic argument and reflects perfectly what this forum is generally about ... gear!
The image itself being secondary. 🙂
