Jeff, now you need to put down a good coat of wax, and be sure to wax it every 9 months to keep it shiny and new looking. Maybe even do a ceramic coating like I have on my cars. That helps keep it clean!

I am still sorting through the 4 terabytes of data that I have from various projects. One of them was a real pain in that we did not fly it, and it was not really our project. We just processed the data for a guy in Montana. He flew a project with a camera system we rented to him, and he flew it over several days, some were cloudy days, some were sunny, some in the morning, some in the afternoon. It was a huge area, like most things in Montana. It was the first project I came across that my computer would just puke on because 32 Gig of RAM was not enough. It took us over a month to get it finished. We ended up running it on our 128 Gig of RAM machine at my partners house. Then moved it over here for me to post process it and do the color correction and tweaking of the images. I had 1.4 TB of files that were the steps of making it look good.

All we need to keep is a copy of the final deliverable, and the original images. Just making 100% sure the stuff going into the oblivion of the delete process is truly the trash is tedious.

I had the project scattered over several drives before. It is all reduced to just 330 GB of data. In the end the final client was thrilled with the magic we did. They had to have it flown before leaf out on the trees last spring, and they had a very small budget. We did it for less than 2/3 of the quotes from all her other sources. She is happy, and she will be calling us again next time.
