What does one do with 5 gigabytes of shuttle pics? Do you spend a
few hours over the course of three or four evenings admiring them? Or
do you spread it out to viewing them for 1/2 hour daily for a month or
so?

Do you go back a couple of times a year and admire them again?



Sorry to hurt your delicate sensibilities. I also have about
10.5 gigs of aircraft pictures. Is that OK?

It's absolutely OK... What you put on your computer is your business.

I'm just curious as to what you do with them.



I go over older pix to look for differences and updates... you know, the way
he stated he did but you snipped out without marking the snip.

"As example, just how many upgrades have been made to the shuttle cockpit
since the early 80's? Well, now I have photographic information."

Some of us are interested in the history of aviation in general and of
particular systems in particular.

I also go over pix looking for a particularly good shot and then use them to
make various items, including but not limited to my own calendars and other
hardcopy. (so I have pinups of Lancasters and Vulcans and Lightenings, the
latter including Lockheed, English Electric, and Mitsubishi products, instead
of nekkid girls... sue me.)

J3's stuff will give me hours, days, weeks, worth of work to go through and
sort out and catalogue and drop onto a DVD. After that, I'll be able to find
any one of the pix in a matter of seconds.

But, hey, if you don't like 'em, don't download 'em. Seems simple enough to
me.
