Steph, how much space are you talking about?

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!
About 60 GB.
I agree with the external hard drive backup and store in a fireproof safe or something. It likely will be the cheapest for that amount of space.
Here is a review of some services though:
Don't use Carbonite.
I'm on the fence between the 3G and non 3G iPad. I have a Verizon MiFi that I've got a two year contract on, so I'm kinda leaning towards doing the non 3G version.
No 3G for me. I don't want the monthly outlay. Hell, I still have a first gen iPhone and it suits my needs just fine.
GC, I just read your tag as "Jesus had 2 cats."
I'm considering getting the 3G and just not getting a contract right away. The flexibility of having it available when I want it but not being locked in is pretty sweet.
I ended up preordering the non 3G 64 GB model.
Now I'm just waiting until April. Of course I will be out of town the day it delivers.
I have a PHP app that outputs an RSS feed. When I have it with the extension .rss and use
t Files index.rss
ForceType php5-cgi
t /Files
to override it and run as PHP, I get one result (RSS feeds for one subdomain).
When I name the same file .rss.php I get RSS feeds for multiple sites.
Any ideas what I should be even looking at to troubleshoot this? All I can think is that the ForceType is doing something slightly wacky.
iPad question for the Hive Mind:
Any ideas on whether it's going to be absolutely required to have OS 10.5.blah? I'm currently running 10.4.something, and really don't want to spend nearly $200 to upgrade it if I don't have to, since the only way I see to get Leopard (in the online Apple Store) is also bundled with iLife and iWork, which I have NO use for.
What I'm wondering is if I'm OK in my assumption that the iPad is kind of an oversized iPod Touch with internet access. I mostly want to use it for internet and email, and have no big desire to sync with my Mac Mini (as long as I can get files onto the iPad via internet/email, though obviously I'd like to be able to plug a thumb drive into it). I don't use an iPod, though, so I don't know if not syncing is even possible. And maybe I'm misunderstanding the functionality of the dock-USB cable....
(I just want a Mac netbook! wahhh!)
