I will point out the obvious irony here of scanning photos (which still exist) from 1980's into a computer storage system that surely will not exist 20-30 years from now. If you don't throw away those photos, you will be able to scan them into whatever gizmo we'll be using then. Guaranteed.

but clearly, now I have found them, my karma is hell-bent on destroying them as quickly as possible, they will not be around in another 20-30 years. :lol:

It sometimes bums me out to see how young and youthful and relatively handsome I was in my old photos.

It's kind of amazing isn't it? Hard to believe we looked like that.

Back in my post grad days we use to develop and print all our negtives and pictures, crop them and stick little printed out arrows and labels on them.

When I started working we use to capture all our pictures on polaroids.

So I knew the picture wouldn't just wipe off.

And back in your batchelor's degree days you just painting the fucking things straight on to the cave walls. :D

But any future scan will inevitably start from a print that is degraded from your current scan.
You obviously haven't thought ahead to the inevitable EMP attack. We'll be going back to printed photos soon.

Guess my blacksmithing obsession could come in handy...
