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.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

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.

Hey. New board.
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.

Our wings are not tired
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Stupid question: I unthinkingly connected a vacuum cleaner to a surge protector (I know, I know) which caused it to shut down/burn out/whatever. When I connect it to another power outlet, it still works, but only the "protected" indicator light is on, and the "grounded" line is off. I'm pretty sure that both indicator lights were on before. Does this mean it will still protect my modem/router in cases of power surges (since the "protected" line is on)? I know certain surge protectors can only work once then you have to replace it. I'm hoping I don't have to buy another one.
I could probably get an answer for this if I google, but I am feeling very lazy and you guys know everything.
