If you have enough photos to fill up 99 gigabytes (which is
roughly how many we had, when I wrote that original post) -- you have way too many photos to just burn to "a couple of CDRs".
We burn to DVD but for an immense amount of photos (or videos, data files, etc.) you really do need larger hard disk drives -- otherwise, you spend your whole life figuring out what to burn to DVD and no time out taking photos or filling orders!
Also, CDs and DVDs have not been around nearly as long as hard disk technology and the jury is still out in some circles as to how truly "archival" CDs and DVDs are. For that reason, we always have a large chunk of our stuff on hard disk drives -- as well as burned to a disc-based medium.
