Convince me to do it.......

QUOTE=AmberK;942257]So when I finish a LO I keep my original layered file and just make a smaller web copy so I can post. I never flatten and save a high res jpeg. Convince me that I should do this and then delete my layered file. I never go back and fix things or change them so there is no reason why I need to keep it but I just can't delete them. I need serious help. [/QUOTE]

I remember reading this and everyone's responses a few weeks ago. I wanted to come back to it to refresh my memory, because I remember everyone talking about their EHD. I thought an EHD was a device that would store anything you had on your computer that you did not want to lose. For example: I would like to store not only my layouts and pictures, but any kits that I have purchased as well, until I know that I am finished with them completely. Can you do that with an EHD? If not, what if your computer crashes and you have kits that have not yet been used? Are they gone forever with no chance of getting them back? I have quite a few that haven't been used yet, because I am still having fun with others that were bought previously. What am I to do?

An EHD is an external hard drive. It's exactly like the hard drive in your computer, but it's in its own case and is separate from your computer. They usually connect to your computer through a USB cable, and you can store anything you want on it - any kind of file you have on your computer can also be stored on an EHD.
