r/wm,
It is interesting that you point out the yahoo garage. So many are
dependent on this electronic cyber stuff and then on day it's all
gone. Now days everyone is foolishly dependent on the so called
"CLOUD'', I can just see, a decade or two down the road, people's
precious photos will be all gone without warning, or if they do give a
warning, it will be "pay big bucks bucko or you will lose all your
precious photos and files...
