An exclusive Ritz holiday promotion, the Mirra Digital Shoebox is an essential camera accessory offering 80 gigabytes of backup protection-enough to protect more than 100,000 3-megapixel digital photos.

The Digital Shoebox can also protect and share any kind of digital file, making it an ideal solution for home users with valuable content on their PCs, ranging from photos to music, work documents, financial records, and email.

"Think for a moment about all the shoeboxes of photos we have sitting on closet shelves and the fundamental reason we take photos - to preserve life's irreplaceable moments and share them with others. Well, the same is true of digital photos, and consumers are now looking for an easy solution for their digital lives," said Richard Mandeberg, CEO of Mirra. "With Ritz as a retail partner, our customers will benefit from the knowledge of a premier specialty photo retailer who understands their needs and can guide them to Mirra's award-winning solution."

The question is: How do you easily organize, protect, and share these pictures? As the premier specialty photo retailer, we believe the new Mirra Digital Shoebox solves these problems, making it a must-have accessory for anyone who owns a digital camera. We also believe that we have the know-how to best assist customers with this great new product."
