My OS drive went down. No reason other than it just got old. Ry found me a sweeeeeeeet deal for a new one that I'll gladly flaunt in your faces come Thurs night. Just thought I'd share that I'll be ready for the LAN.

LOL!!! Remember back when we thought that 1 TERRABYTE was some lofty, divine standard that would only be reached "many years from now?" Geeze.... I feel old

Bah, 1 TB drives are inexpensive and not that big a deal.

Your setup better amaze more than that!

/I remember saying "3 GB? I'll never fill that!"
//very short-sighted apparently.

I saw an ad for a 16TB RAID config the other day... it was something like $3200. I wouldn't even know what to do with that much space! My entire DVD collection would fit in there about EIGHT TIMES.

Well then, with that much space, you'd just have to get more movies...

Seriously though, Sarah's parent's are going this route: they have several hundred movies and they take up all kinds of space. So Dad picks up a computer with *10* TBs of storage and he's gonna rip every blasted last one of them (here's hoping that my collection will increase when this happens Wink

)

I remember when my parents got their computer that had a 1 GB drive, and thought it would never get filled up

I thought that 80GB would be more than enough for me when I got this system but now I'm running low on space
