Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sweet, Jessica! I'll be doing that later today.

I have to figure out whether to toss doubles

I don't. I have some exact dupes (from the original album and from best ofs, for instance) that I keep so that I can listen to either album in its entirety. And then there are the close dupes...I'm a completist. I know some people plain don't put music they don't like on their iPod, but I need it all there.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Same here. It only causes problems when I get into the mood to listen to all songs in alphabetical order.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well, the completist way is the way I've done things so far. But as I get closer to maxing out my hard drive I start to feel silly for contemplating buying a new hard drive just to store music.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But as I get closer to maxing out my hard drive I start to feel silly for contemplating buying a new hard drive just to store music.

What do you mean, "just" to store music? That's the best reason! Except for storing TV shows.

That's certainly where most of my storage goes. It used to be that images ate my space. Pfah. They're nothing now.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, back when I had 500 GB of storage, it was mostly TV. And about 150 of the top 250 IMDB movies. That was fun.

I dunno. I feel like I should be using it for Photoshop and Dreamweaver and practical applications. Except that I'm doing a piss-poor job of making time to learn them. It's just that it makes me feel like I'm using my computer primarily as a toy rather than a practical item.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I have one 80gb drive for applications, a second 200mb drive for files other than music (graphics, html, spreadsheets, etc.), and a third 300gb drive dedicated to my music library for iTunes.

Coding and Sleeping

I have a 160GB drive on my main computer and a 320GB drive on my Windows computer which was full of TV, Music, and Pictures. I'm slowing deleting and archiving to DVD (data, not video) to pare things down enough to put the 320GB drive in my main computer. I keep getting tempted by this $98 250GB drive [link] but really once the great DVD project is over I will have plenty of space.
