Default Making lists of your goodies..

When making lists of your assets don't rely solely on your camera and computer..
After all.when you need it 10-20-30 years from now there will be no way to read it..Your brand new digital camera will produce images that will be so out dated that it will be impossible to get a copy of it to translate.
Like all my 35MM slides taken with the latest and greatest Pentax in 1969-70 can still be converted to a readable colour photo for $4.50 Each...and they are stored right next to my Kodak Carousel and trays of slides..never to be looked at again..
And that is piled on top of my latest and greatest Super 8 movie camera and all the reels of super 8 film of my wedding in Germany in '71..and that pile is right next to the Super 8 reel to reel to VHS video tape pile that I no longer have a video machine to play them with ,but converted at great expense,,,and that is sitting with my pile of 5.5" floppys and assorted other "Stuff" that no longer can be identified..played..or identified.
So what is the best way to record and save...
pencil and paper..but can the young'uns even write any more..that is fast becoming a lost art also..

Sell 'er while you are living..don't leave your family with your mess to clean up..not one of them want it..
Remember..when your possessions start owning you..instead of the other way around..and you got your needs and your wants in the wrong order..you are in trouble..
Do the family a favour and sell..
Only you know what it is and unless you can eat it..wear it..get under it to keep dry and warm or screw it..get rid of it...You don't need it/...
End Rant..
Going through it now.
