Re: Storage

DVD & CDR discs -- short shelf life/household clutter/landfill (100disc spindle = 470GB = $50ish)

1.5TB hard drive = $130.00 (and falling).. backup & store it away

online backup (unlimited) $50/yr
example: http://www.carbonite.com/how_it_works/

it seems DVD-R/CDR backup is the worse choice no matter how you slice it.
good question..Im sure we'll see a lot of thoughts on this one.
