I have both iView and MS Expression but have yet to embark with either.  I have thousands of images on Picasa but I've used it only as a stop gap measure for my indecision.  (It's easy to view them in this consumer freebie),  I also have Portfolio 7 (from several years ago)  but I didn't find it intuitive to use.  I have not yet tagged or keyworded any files.  I want to start right and aaaggghhhh, here I am.  I got iView and then MS bought it.  Should I just bite the bullet and use Expression or go with the (unsupported, I think)  iView?  I am a fine art photographer with other casual files as well.  I use XP Pro, CS3.  I'm shooting RAW and JPG files. I'm thinking of future stock use if I ever get organized (travel, abstract) but it's for my own portfolio images and possible portfolio images that I need to catalog.

I'm also looking for some online backup storage.  I don't need to sell (I use SmugMug and galleries), just want to protect my inventory.  Anyone got some good recommendations for about a terabyte of storage for both images and docs?

Anyone have any brilliant ideas for me?  Thanks!

I'm new to this Forum and format.  I haven't found a schedule for Peter's workshops for 2008, just a few references.  I'm in SF and in desperate need of a hands-on (PC) DAM tutor, mentor or tutorial.  Anyone help?
