For, er, historical reasons (I had them already and am lazy), I use the
same alcohol-based pens I use for writing on the backs of RC prints, sold
for the purpose.  I've been doing this since '96 or so, no problems yet.

What I want to know is a decent labelling and storage regime. At present I
resort to yyyymmdd_clientname, and use Extensis Portfolio to catalogue the
contents. That bit is fine, it's finding the CD which is a swine - the CD's
are always out of sequence (gremlins, I swear) and the one I want is
invariably the last one I look at out of hundreds. Jewel cases suck utterly
for finding stuff, and binders are even worse... negatives are a cinch in
comparison.
