Hello Matthew... Good question... I use my Libretto to make portable my MP3's (3.6gig), Music Videos (5gig), a lot of 3D FPS Games (19gig, I collect them, list available). That is the personal and entertainment area. For work I have Device Drivers (2.6gig), about two dozen installation CD and disks sets (20gig), and then I have several clients with databases that total around 10gig each... I can just work on more at once and not spend as much time copying back and forth to the server. Is faster working internally. I more I can keep with me, the less I have to go to the file server. For my file server here at home I have six 30gig drives which have over 100 gig of data on them at any given time, so I can't even take everything with me as it is. The CD's I would need to carry would outweigh my Libretto. I have to keep as close to total portability as storage will allow. Also, when I am gathering network traffic on site you just can't have too much disk space. The more space I have, the more I can gather at a time, and the better my analysis will be. : ) I keep both of my Librettos going and rotate them from duty on site. Maybe I should just buy newer computers, but I really like these "adorable" computers, and they still do a great job for the types of work I do. At $1500, a new U model is starting to sound really good, I but I need Windows 98 and DOS for complete compatibility with much of the equipment I service. That is what I use my Libretto(s) for... with all this new disk space so inexpensive, it seems my Libretto just keeps getting more useful! : ) John Martin =================================== ---------- From: matthew patton [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 4:55 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 16:54:23 -0800 (PST) From: matthew patton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers what on earth do you people put on your HD's? I can't fill 20G (not including the OS). I guess if I ripped all of my CD's at some silly bitrate I'd manage to fill the 40G drive. The only sizable thing I have are 5yrs worth of magazine scans in PDF and parts of last year's MotoGP video feeds. But neither will exist on the platters for long. They'll go to DVD/CD. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
