Tell me iPhoto is here to stay.

Well, I'll throw in my worthless two cents.

we all have to keep in mind that Steve demonstrates this software on dual 2.5 G5's maxed with RAM. Of course it scrolls through the 25,000 images with ease. It should.

For real world people like us...the jury is still out.

Jobs used iMacs G5 for his demonstrations at this years MacWorld Expo Keynote back in January. He even made a point of that by saying so.

Yeah, but they were probably special iMacs with the horsepower of 10 X-serves connected to it.

If I were you, I'd print out the pictures you want to keep and keep them in a safe place. I don't know how to preserve pictures, but I'd find out and do that.

I don't print out all my pictures. Do as I say, not as I do.

My wife shudders at the thought of iPhoto as a way to preserve our memories. She prefers to scrapbook our memories. In fact, she likes it so much that she actually started selling the stuff. I won't say which company she promotes but it is the premier direct sell scrapbook company. If you don't know, don't even bother trying to figure it out. It is a waste of your time. Don't get me wrong, we still use a digital camera (exclusively) and print as we go. I just want to make some of those nice book presentations but I'm sure my wife would kill me Whatever you decide to do in the end make sure you have a good back-up solution in place. You never know what could happen in the future. Nothing lasts forever.

Have you flirted with iPhoto's keywords option yet? It is great for attaching names to faces. Then you can actual query iPhoto e.g. Mom+Dad+Ralphie.
I don't know about iPhoto 5 but in iPhoto 4 one has no means to sort the keywords table which stinks. However, a plug-in exists to allow for sorting. I've got over one hundred of these set up.

Yes I have. With the advice of all here in this thread, I started adding info and keywords to my pics last night. Using iPhoto 5, the keyword function is awesome for sure. I really appreciate all the comments here. That's why I read MR all the time.
