That’s so very disappointing. I know I’m a hoarder, but I prize having hard copies of documents and pictures. Digital “copies” only survive as long as somebody maintains the website or the technology used for storage doesn’t become obsolete. We used to store pictures and stories on 5 1/4” Floppy Disks, then 3.5” floppys, VHS tapes, then CDs, and rewritable DVDs. All of those storage devices are or will soon be unusable. Thumb drives are becoming obsolete as some new computers don’t have USB ports. The “Cloud”? Who controls that?

I control my collection of paper.
