Aarrg... iPhoto renumbered my images

On my hike up Dog Canyon Trail Saturday I took way too many pictures and when I downloaded them to the laptop iPhoto ran out of hard drive space about 3/4 of the way through and I had to remove some old files to make more space on the drive. When I resumed the download, iPhoto started from scratch and downloaded ALL the images again and, of course, ran out of hard drive space again. Geeze, Louise, who wrote this thing? I removed some more stuff and started over. This time iPhoto completed the download, but renumbered the images. So now I have duplicates of most of the images with different numbering sequences. Go figger! I can tediously recover from this but I think it's time to abandon iPhoto before I lose something in the process.

I'm going to set up an archiving system but first I need to research how photo archiving is normally done before I paint myself in a corner as I'm so prone to do.

Just what I need, another project.

• Verizon cell phone service - good signal
• Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)
