WTF is up with HD manufactures?

[blooz]

I dunno guys, I appreciate the storage capacities of a CD or hard drive as opposed to a drawer full of photos, but I am trying to get all the most important ones printed and into an actual album. I'm old-fashioned I guess, and I want things(I've said this before) i can look at by candlelight if the power goes down or if modern civilization crashes into a nasty mess.

Assuming I survive of course.
