Thanks, Tommy, I wasn't sure what to look for in a cassette player. I've got several Walkman type players around the house and wasn't sure if they'd be sufficient.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A Walkman-type player might work. But you'll need to carefully adjust the volume on the Walkman in order to get the volume correct on the computer.

XP SP3 - how bad is it?
Have they fixed the bugs?
Does it hurt performance?(Some of the reviews say it increases performance.)
Does it add crippling DRM?
Or were the problems just the usual thing with a major update? Mostly already fixed? What was not fixed will be fixed soon?
Currently have automatic updates set to "notify". I'll wait a few weeks before downloading and installing, to give time for more bugs to be caught and fixed. Is that sufficiently paranoid, or do I need to wait longer?
Sounds like they are importing the crippling "are you sure stuff" from Vista: [link]

How do you back-up an external hard drive? I have an external hard drive with all my music and videos on it, and I would just about shoot myself if anything happened-- but do you get a second external hard drive??

Kinda depends on how much data you have. You could always burn DVDs if you don't change the data much and there isn't an overwhelming amount of it. Otherwise a second external hard drive is pretty much it.
I have this little guy, NAS 200, with two mirrored hard drives to store important stuff on. I don't know if a network device makes sense for you though.

Right now I have 104G. Is that too much to burn to DVD (I am thinking yes?) I have a lot of TV downloaded from itunes, and I would actually like to rip a lot more of the stuff I have on DVD. I feel like I am a bit done with purchasing physical DVD's, as I pretty much destroy the beautiful boxes anyway.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

About 30 times too much.

I just figured out how to rip from DVDs to Itunes and transfer to Ipod. It's awesome.
But most of you already knew that.

Yeah, you'd be looking at about 25 or more DVDs, not very practical.
You'd need a second external hard drive for the storage space to back things up, but I don't know anything about backing up iTunes stuff.
