Picture Keeper

Ha!  Look what photo was randomly up when she snapped the picture!
A few years ago Linda's laptop crashed and died and she lost all the photos stored on it.  Luckily, a lot of them were backed up on a few dozen discs, but the last 6 months before it died wasn't.  She lost so many wonderful photos.  After some liquid got spilled on the keyboard from an over excited dog (we won't name names) Linda bought one of these Picture Keepers just in case the laptop conked out.  She did some research and found the overall reviews great.  It was so easy to use, but we didn't get anywhere near the 16,000 pictures stored that the box advertises. Linda had almost about 10,000 photos on her hard drive and the Picture Keeper only has 10% more space on it.  She even went through and deleted any duplicates prior to starting the backup. She's confused by this because it said if you have a super fancy camera and you save high quality resolutions, you'll be able to fit less.  We have an iPhone and only a little point-n-shoot camera.  That part is kind of a bummer, but she loves that she can just take it to a photo printing place and print off any photos easily and quickly, all on one little drive.  It wasn't that expensive, so she'll buy another one.  First she has to find out if it will re-save all the existing photos or only add the new ones.
