I did look, Amazon had a return option for description not matching
item. Odds are, I could have returned it. Still, kinda glad I kept
it. I got copies of my pictures. After next weekend, there will be a
backup copy as well.
I recall once when a internet friend lost her Grandma. They were very
close. She basically raised the girl. Then she took care of her
Grandma when she got older. When I read the Grandma died, I sent a
message to my friend to make several copies of all the pics and such she
took. She had a LOT of them. Later she sent me a note and said she
sent CDs with copies of the pics to several family members. She also
dropped a copy in her safety deposit box. She thanked me for mentioning
it because she had had a computer fail before and she lost pics. It
never occurred to her to make copies. Now, she had copies and couldn't
lose them plus she shared a lot of memories with other members of her
family, maybe friends too. A lot of times people don't think about the
value of things on a hard drive. At least not until something goes
wrong and they lose it. Pictures and videos can be priceless and worth
a lot more than money can consider.
