I have learned a very good lesson, which is that it's a great and good thing to post your pictures to Flickr, since it's an excellent way of backing up your photos off-site when YOUR HARD DRIVE CRASHES AND CORRUPTS SOME OF THEM GRRRRRRR. Yes, backed up to another drive also, but it's an external and I'm having trouble getting it recognized through the USB port. On the other hand, I have no trouble logging on to Flickr from wherever and getting my pictures back.
