CompUSA
Who?
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hey, has anyone bought a digital camera off of eBay from a warehouse re-seller? There's an auction from one with very good feedback for the camera I've been pining after. [link]
The camera is listed in "Very Good" condition; the only described flaw is small scratches on the LCD screen. Should I watch the auction and try to snipe it later tonight? Or should I run away, save my pennies, and just buy the damn thing new from Amazon?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am feeling very pleased with myself! I am currently backing up my stuff en masse for the first time ever. I got a LaCie, because I thought I remembered people mentioning the brand here, and it was the cheapest. Good call?
Isn't CompUSA a real place?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been very happy with my LaCie drives.
CompUSA is no more. It is an ex-chain.

You can see how often I shop for technology.

CompUSA is no more. It is an ex-chain.
It's just resting.
Or is it pining for the fjords?

I like the LaCies, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish I could pull off a Time Capsule solution for my mixed OS network. But after this HD replacement, I really need *something*. I have a cursed touch when it comes to hard drives, especially boot partitions.
I just want something simple and behind the scenes.

OK, this is possibly a dumb question, but do I need to keep the backup drive plugged in, or can I just keep it in a drawer?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In a drawer, so long as you don't forget it's there, and never back up your computer again.
