Re: Elements

I do have a second drive where I keep all my photos but I need to back them
up.
Why do you worry about people who have so many photos, 6000 is not a lot
really
I copied all my parents slides and my wifes parents slides and would not
like to lose them.
The photos I have go back 50 odd years so I dont see anything to worry about
really, except losing them

but worry if you must
