At the moment I plan to migrate from analog to digital photography. I'm surprised about nowadays common immoderateness. There's no need to take 10 shots/second of a still life and to repeat it 20 times, to end up with 200 photos. IMO one shot should be enough. There's no need at all, to log the meal served in a restaurant by camera. I guess not many people really need a multi-boot with more than 3 or 4 operating systems, that require a primary partition and not many private persons really need to store more than 2 TB/disk.
