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.

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.

Yahoo gives up the fight against Google?

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.

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.

Well, I ordered my MacBook.

Dual-core 1.67 GHz with AppleCare. Didn't bother to upgrade the RAM or HD - I'll do the RAM myself, for much cheaper, and 80 GB should do me fine in disc space. I'm not the hog I used to be. Besides, I may buy a Firewire or USB enclosure for the 100 GB drive I recently put in my iBook.

Hope early-adopter doesn't bite me in the butt, but I'm ready for this upgrade.

Storage is king. My G5 has a 300 GB, 160 GB, and 100 GB drives on it. My Win XP Box has 100 GB and 200 GB drives, in it. I've got a 500 GB firewire drive that travels with my laptop, and then about 500 GB in floating FW drives of various sizes.

Dude, sounds more like Pixar is buying Disney.
