   I had not considered that aspect but that is a good point.  I have a lot of   
   photos from my earlier years of photography (meaning not digital) that have   
   probably been lost to time via degradation.  As I have not looked at them   
   in years they must not be too cherished.

   Only 20 would be rough for me.  ;)

   Indeed.  There are many nefarious uses for that I am sure.
