I actually switched all my digital artwork from jpeg to png and the difference is amazing.

JPG to be created for photography like images. Yes, it's lost some information, but it's really help to sending images via Internet. I do not think that you need convert your family archives in PNG or another lostless format. If you have it in JPEG , it already "spoiled".
If you don't notice these jpeg losses, why should they bother you? While hard driver space is always running out. I think not need more panic about JPEG

Just a quickie, the PNG format is basically an enhanced GIF format.

What's the differnece bewtween interlaced PNG and a normal PNG (aside from file size)? Are the vertical/horizontal lines "interlaced" with this feature on?

Well, you may have trouble finding a reasonably priced camera that will take non-JPG photos with acceptable performance. Most digital cameras currently only use JPG. I used to have a 1.3 megapixel Olympus that would take photos in JPG or TIF format. Unfortunately setting it to TIF mode made it virtually unusable. In TIF mode it would take well over 60 seconds to process the picture after you snapped it. Then it would take another 60 seconds to display the TIF to it's screen. That's a minimum 2 minutes per photo taken, all the while eating up batteries.

To be honest most camera's high quality JPG setting is not bad at all. Not perfect IMO, but reasonably ok. As long as you use the highest quality the camera will do you should be ok. Now I wouldn't suggest anyone convert from a lossless format into JPG, but when you're getting the JPG directly from the originating source (the camera) then that's going to be the cleanest JPG possible. It'll still have some artifacts and possibly color shifts that JPG is infamous for... but what can you do, aside from buying a muli-thousand dollar camera?
