This winter my project is to try and square away my electronic files, both digital images and documents. Dozens of terabytes of data, what a mess.

If you guys are going to keep yakking and not let this thread go to sleep I may as well stuff some more photos in. If I've posted these someplace before let me know and I'll look for another set.
