Pictures, pictures, pictures

So with the advent of digital photography, how often do people actually print pictures anymore?  Well, we got home from our trip to San Francisco last week.  It was awesome, and I will get to drafting a detailed review soon.  But another item on my to-do list is to (1) upload the pictures; (2) go through the pictures and decide what to post/share; (3) figure out if I want to order any pictures.

In the 4 days we were there, I easily took over 1,000 pictures.  I was also using a new camera, so I was just having fun with it (42x zoom; hello!!!!!).  What will I do with these pictures aside from storing them on my computer and sharing a sampling? Who knows?!  But, I no longer need to worry about the $12 and 2 days it would take to get my pictures processed at the local drugstore.  And, I no longer need to decide whether I want to pay a few dollars extra for doubles or not.  And, I no longer need to be concerned that the picture I snapped actually came out like I envisioned (I used to hate when I get back unfocused pictures or ones that were too dark!!).  Now, with digital photographer, my motto is: snap now, edit later.  

So, I am curious, when you go on vacation, how many pictures do you average a day?  Is anyone of the "24" (you know, 24 pictures per roll) mindset anymore?
