Summary

TOPIC: Duplicates, duplicates, duplicates.

This week, Dan and Merlin conclude their discussion of media management by focusing on dealing with duplicates. Just so many duplicates.

Also, some handy tips on sharing files, hosting media, and finding a digital home for your comic collection.
