Bob,
 
Me thinks you doth protesteth too much. In 20-years, you will be hard  
pressed to find a computer or reading machine that will accept your cute little  
camera chip because it will be as obsolete as a dinosaur. But people can always  
read paper. And yes, while I do have a Nikon 100 with an 8 meg chip for my 
field  work, I also have a set of old fashioned black & white photos printed with 
 silver-based chemicals on acid-free paper, sleeved in mylar and placed in  
acid-free boxes, housed underground in a concrete bunker that is 10-inches  
thick, steel-reinforced, concrete and sealed with 2-ply epoxy paint with HVAC  
machinery to keep the temperature to 55 degrees and 60% humidity and steel  
security doors that are checked by federal security officers four times an hour  
at irregular checks. Last year, Tom King informed us that the Japanese have 
made  a CD on glass that should last a century. But I worry there will be no 
machines  to read our digital images in the future. 
 
Oh, and I also have a Kodak digital camera about the size of a deck of  cards 
that doubles as a video camera. I am keeping my Kodak stock because it is  
earning money. But, alas, I do not have a 501K retirement system, being that I  
am a poor retired public servant.
