 I'm still curious about this ...

Also, I'm curious about how to best deal with a larger collection.  For my
basic needs, I find that I have 2 basic classes of photographs -  the good
ones I want to display and then the others that are not as good - but I do
not want to throw out, and that like to keep as an archive somewhere. Also,
separating things in folders will help slide-show type programs like graphic
converter that can display the contents of a particular folder...

Question: what's the best way to separate these on the hard drive?

-  should I make 2 folders for each photo event? - like ...  Bob's birthday
and Bob's birthday archive? That would mean and making lots of folders - but
it does seem to solve my problem of keeping the separated...

Any other ideas?
