Today it's simply ... leave them on the hard drive.

Today's hard drive is yesterday's envelope - for me at least. Actually, I group the photos on my hard drive into folders - almost always organized by date - but other than that, even very unsuccessful photos that I have no reason to keep rarely get fully disposed of. What's more, in addition to my hard drive, I also usually burn them to CD, and because the memory cards of today are able to hold so many photos, I rarely remove them from there as well.

Of the approximately twenty responses to the previously mentioned thread, most admitted that they save more than they'd like. One person wrote:

I save everything. As hard drives are large enough and easy to backup, why not?

which I guess, except for one not so small problem, pretty well sums up my take on that as well.
