Digital BW, The Print

Mark,
In theory this really sounds great. Part of me has struggled with the idea of it from a couple of angles.. Bandwidth and it's potential cost in the hopefully not to near future, true security from theft etc, and I guess just time ...uploading is typically a longer process then downloading and those that are bandwidth impaired or limited in it's use would really struggle.. I guess it really makes sense however because it's an offsite storage.. It just seems that if you are talking jobs with a bit of size to them and stored the original file along with the print file ...well that's a chunk of data especially if your base file is 16 bit.. How long is it taking you to get say a 500MB (two files)  up there.

  Perhaps not so OT as you would think. Archiving of files is all part 
  of printing editions, etc.

  I have been using them too, for personal files backups (photos), first 
  upload took two weeks. Best part I have found is to be able from any 
  computer anywhere to retrieve one or many files at any time. Plus the 
  fact that files reside off-site if fire or theft. Nice that they have 
  no limit on how much you can store for the $45 a year too. I recommend 
  them also.
