I've probably got a spare hard drive laying around here. When I get back from the cruise I can shoot it your way.

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!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
ND that's really great but honestly I wouldn't know what to do with it.
edit: on second thought, maybe my more technologically savvy roommate will. I've emailed him.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Laga, I should be done by like 3ish. I'll buzz ya. No need to reward me. Your presence is more than enough.

Okay, the Verizon store in Brooklyn is awesome - they replaced my phone for $50 (the standard out of warranty repair fee), so I now have a shiny new Treo 700p that's just like my old one only it, um, works. Yay!

I'm having a kumbaya moment reading the LAistas banding together in tech-support. It's a beautiful thing to see.
You all need to plan a synchronized vacation in DC. I'll make a chocolate cake that will make you say MaMa! And in your sugar stupor, you could help me get my technical act together. Doesn't that sound like fun?
In the meanwhile, congrats Laga. You will love the shuffle once omnis whips it into shape.
Yay Jessica! Congrats on the less painful option coming through.

So what are people's recommendations for external hard drives? And where to find the best deals?

I've had good experiences with Western Digital and LaCie drives - I think LaCie are slightly cheaper these days, but I could be wrong. Dealnews.com should have links to sales.

Oh good. I thought I'd heard people making fun of it for it's extreme minimalism.
