I had never heard of Flickr so I had to look it up. It looks like a web site that stores your photos. I can't see that being useful for everyone. I don't see the appeal of people wanting to upload all of their photos to someone else's computer and have them store them. What if they lose all of your photos? I also don't want to share my photos except with possibly a handful of people (some friends, my parents).

> are there people who really only store their photos on their local box?

Yes. With over six billion people in the world you can't reasonabily expect that every one of them would want to do things the same way you do.
