According to an old QuickBooks entry, I purchased a 10GB hard drive from Fry's in early 1999 for $247.89 (including tax).

Ironically, or maybe not, I don't really trust online storage solutions. They have a way of not being there at some point down the road. So, for now, backup to an external drive for working copies and burn to DVD for posterity. I'm starting to exercise some editorial control of what is deemed worthy for keeping in the permanent photo album. |
