Spent the past week doing the weddings. The computer's had some glitches with new programs and the overwhelming overload of work going into this project. Sure glad Bernell's been around to help clean up problems when they come (which has been all too often). We bought a 1Tb hard drive to hold all these video transfers, all my digital pictures for the past 6 years, and all the scrapbook pages I've made. It's already down to 850Gb. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be doing stuff on a computer and need this much space. Be interesting to see how many more Gb's are used by the time I finish transferring all these tapes! A BIG JOB but think it's worth it...

Big Job
I've decided to transfer all the many video tapes we have taken of the family for the the past 30+ years to DVD's.

I think that is such a great thing to do!! Andy's parents have a ton of old pictures lying around and I think as a "thank you" for letting us live here we will scan them all and get them on the computer.
Yep, it's a good thing to do and we'll be able to enjoy our family photos and pictures a bit better (well, except for the ones of me from ages 9-16).
Now, I just need you to come to work with me when I have to explain the necessity of media migration to people.
