I agree with you here Alan,
with emphasis being on rearchiving your digital files.
BUT keep hat neg or slide archived as best you can because when you're ready
to make a new super duper print on whatever whiz bang is available in 15-20
years, you may get a much better image by rescanning the original if it is
intact. If not, you've got your currently rearchived digital media to fall
back on.
