Ron, maybe his time is worth more than your's? He found a solution that
costs less than $400. So long as he has a organization that keeps track
of all the images, it's likely to be much more cost effective to keep
the stuff. You could spent weeks deciding what should go or stay. And
compression -- why would someone who amassed 35k images think about
degrading them that way?
