If you lose your HD, they'll be gone forever, but if you torrent it, they're safe for all time...

If you read through the thread........ you will see that I have many many backup. :p

I refuse to torrent because it's not fair that others profit from my investment in time & money. :)

Do you think it's crazy to scan 600+ mags? I won't be scanning every page but all pages with articles on them so for example a 70 page mag will have 45-50 pages that have articles or pictures on them.

I guess I will find out how tough my Canon Scanner is :)
