REVIEW – I hate getting certain new tech – specifically phones and PCs.  While I love all the shiny newness, I detest migrating everything from the old to the new.  It’s tedious and time-consuming and did I mention that I hate it? What if there was a way to make the process simple and hands-off?

I’m not entirely sure how it happened, but over the years I have become the curator of the family media archive.  I routinely receive old movie reels, slide and photos to digitize and archive.  Many of these items arrive in somewhat less than pristine shape, and it just doesn’t make sense to store damaged images.
