The drives are getting cheap, but spinning drive will be bigger and way cheaper.

I am not worried at all about a flash flood at our house. I am on a hill and if I flood the state is in big trouble.

I am working with a client that wants some images of a refinery that was in Tulsa and built in the 1930s. Our oldest image we have from that area in 1961. The client wanted something older and is willing to wait for me to get it from the National Archives in DC. The USDA flew the area in the 1940 and 1948. After dozens of emails it looks like it will cost about $90 per image to get a scan. Wow.

I was happy that the National Archives finally accepts email for requests for the availability of an image. The last time I went through all of this an email was not allowed, I had to submit a FAX once a week for a couple of months before they would reply with another fax.

Now that I know the images exist I have to pick a certified archivists to go to the archives and scan it for me. All of them are private businesses.
