What is the oldest digital pic you have on your computer?

I started shooting digitally about 10 years ago, but many of my early efforts (taken with a 2.1MP Kodak) are stored away on some CDs somewhere or in an old hard drive I don't even have easy access to these days. I do have pretty much everything from late 2002 on, which is when I got my Canon D60. The only problem is storage space since they take up a few Terabytes. I used to shoot quite a lot of film as well and I still have many negatives and slides, very few of which have been scanned. I don't even think my old scanners and software will work on my new computer. I wonder how many of these images will still be around in another 10 or 20 years? An even scarier thought is what if something happens to the drive(s) I have them backed up on? Poof! The last 10 years of photography gone forever. But on the other hand, if I haven't used or profited from those pix by now, what does it matter? Very few of the photos I've taken have been seen by anyone besides me, despite the fact that I post a good number of photos online. So who really cares if they go away? I was even thinking of doing a book of photos that nobody else has ever seen. Of course, I'd probably be the only one who looks at the book. I'll file that on the shelf right beside all those other projects I'll never do. This is one of my earliest: http://www.flickr.com/photos/5164668...57600513297369 A photo of a model I was building of my father's ship from WWII.
