Recently a friend had a house fire. The family all got out, but they lost everything, including all their family photos. I couldn't imagine losing our family pictures. My husband and I have pictures from when we were little and then all the pictures of our children growing up. I decided to do something to keep our memories safe.
First thing I did was to start scanning all our photos onto our computer. I also scanned important documents while I was at it. When I found a good sale on usb sticks, I bought two. Then I put all the photos onto both of the usb sticks. I put one of the sticks in our fire proof safe and the other one I put into our digital picture frame. I feel alot better knowing that my pictures are safer.
How are you protecting your memories??

Try box.net
It's an online storage site. It's free.
There are other online storage sites besides that.
It is safe and only you can access them.
It will free up USB sticks!

I had tried one a few years back, but it resized all my photos. When I put them back on my computer they were so small that you could hardly see anything. I haven't tried any since then. I might have to check it out again.
