As for history's sake this new computer age can also kill the photos.
Nobody prints out photos, well very few.

Bingo! My wife is a professional photographer, and one of her soapbox issues is that people don't print out hardcopy photos. USB drives and CD-Rs get lost or damaged or corrupted. Files on harddrives get deleted. They're misplaced and lost. And seriously, nobody sits down at the computer and regularly flips through photo files. Print them out and put then in an old-fashioned photo album.

As far as Tiki Central goes, there's two other factors at play: 1) TC resizes images to something like 400 pixel width, max, and 2) all web images are 72 or 96 dpi, which looks great on the screen, but is way too low resolution for a quality print. The interwebz are good for many things, but long-term archiving of print-quality images ain't one of them.
