I
I'll assume that the 6,000 images aren't your own personal "collection".
Will everyone complain less if you have a HD crash and you loose 6,000+
image files?
If they cannot handle the infrastructure for an effort of the magnitude that
requires 6,000 images, then they aren't keeping up with growth and everyone
around the SW department should be complaining about THEM.
