That's why it's so screwy. It's included on the state's personal income tax return form. Unless you state a specific amount, you have to pay the tax on a percentage of your adjusted gross income. There's a formula in the instructions you're supposed to use to calculate the taxable amount. The idea is the calculated amount represents the portion of disposable income an average person spends on-line. It's really just a wild guesstimate. Like I said screwy ... because I'm to polite to say it's FUCKED UP! Either you pay sales tax on the calculated amount or you have to state a specific amount you spent on-line during the year and pay the tax on that amount. If you state a specific amount, you're supposed to have receipts to back it up. I'm not so good at keeping track of those receipts. Zero is a nice, round number; a specific dollar amount I'm happy with, and I don't mind paying the internet sales tax on that amount ... but I won't risk lying about it. The back taxes, interest and penalties would be expensive if I got caught. So, if I have a choice of buying locally or buying over the internet, I buy locally so that I've already paid the sales tax. I'm trying to keep my internet spending to zero so I won't have any problems entering that number on my state income tax return. Makes for fewer receipts I have to keep track of. I think there are court cases pending against the tax, but unless/until they're resolved in favor of the taxpayer, the state is allowed to continue collecting the tax while it's still in dispute. BTW, they also expect you to pay the tax (NC calls it a USE TAX) on physical purchases you make while on traveling outside of North Carolina; anything purchased while out of state that you bring back to North Carolina to USE. If you buy souvenir T-shirts while you're on vacation, you're supposed to pay the internet sales tax on those as well. Run out of toothpaste while you're away and buy a new tube that lasts until you get home ... NC says you're supposed to pay NC internet tax on that purchase. Did I mention it's screwy, and that it pisses me off? - No virus found in this message.

Re: I'm going to cry now... I STOPPED CRYING :_) UPDATE
Following my own advice, I bought a NAS box and two 1.5TB drives yesterday when I went home to Raleigh. I configured it as RAID1 (mirrored) this morning. The 1.5TB drives (Seagate Barracuda) were $80 each; 2TB drives would have been $180 each. I needed more storage space for this computer. This was my primary computer up until 2007 when I got my current laptop. It's got a 200GB hard-disk, and it's almost full. There's only room enough in the case for one hard-disk. There wasn't enough room for me to bring in my photos from 2008 - 2010 or to add anything for 2011. I've been doing the USB swap boogie, which doesn't work all that well given my natural laziness. I haven't been getting any work done because it was such a hassle to get the right backup drive connected. Having permanent disk space now should alleviate that. Files are being copied while I write. And, it's going to free up a bunch of USB drives so I can do a better job of walking the walk when it comes to keeping off-site backups. - No virus found in this message.

It was the availability. The store had two brands of 1.5TB drives priced at $80 - WD Seagate. Based on past experience, I'd rather have the Seagate. They also had two brands of 2TB drives in stock - WD Seagate. Same price, $180, for either. An extra 500GB wasn't worth spending $200 more right now. The price from Newegg looks great, but there are two benefits to me from purchasing when where I did: 1. I purchased at a brick mortar location here in NC, so I paid NC sales tax at the time of purchase and I don't have to screw around with NC's internet sales tax. The internet sales tax is about 1/2% more than the sales tax on local purchases. It just gets my goat every year. The less I buy over the internet the less I have to deal with something that pisses me off. 2. I'm not waiting for UPS to leave the damn box sitting outside my door sometime next week where it can be stolen. I walked out of the store with the hardware I wanted and I've already got it installed, up and running. One thing I have noticed is I accumulated something like 10 USB external hard-disks, and I have the same folders backed up in multiple places. But none of the backups are in sync. I'll have the same image folder on two or three different drives, but only something like 75% of the files in those folders match. Each instance of the folder is missing some file that is in one of the other instances on a different drive. The older the images, the worse it gets. I have one folder from 5Nov2004 that contains the photos I took of the Guy Fawkes Day fireworks from Glasgow Scotland. It's duplicated on 5 different hard-disks. But 4 of those disks have a gap with about 100 images missing. Only 1 of the 5 has those 100 images on there. But that drive is missing images I took before and after the fireworks. I'm like a pirate with a ships-wheel sticking out of the waist of my trousers ... it's driving me nuts! Agh! - No virus found in this message.

I have to tell you guys that I used to be the queen of backup when I was working spec writing - and in the first few years of working on photos and nothing else, but I've gotten sloppy in my dotage... takes a wake up call.. Except that I have almost nothing that I shot in January with the ist D , everything else seems to be on the drive... I'm copying off the critical time frames on the other external.. and I'll go get myself more gigs tomorrow. I decided I needed to escape so went to the park and shot a couple of things and I'm doing my work on my C drive... I've got an acceptable mode of getting the files into a base folder. The friendliest software is ACDSee For Pentax 3.0 - I had problems with the Pentax browser and lab - specific error stuff I can't remember now. I did shoot about 30 frames with the formated disk... and I got a nice phone call that was helpful from a list lurker I've kinda known for a while whose help was invaluable -- it is so much easier for me to get the info into my head with back and forth talking He mentioned several possible good recovery things... one of which was your suggestion. But tonight I'm relaxin ... IF you are on facebook, I put the photo news thingy with a link there.. some of you spotted it... but if you arent the bottom line is a bunch of my photos from NY in the 70's are in this brief preview of a coming documentary (and , of course, will be in the finished product ) six of them are at the very beginning if you watch the vid... and two of them are shown on the page with the text. I found out about it from one of the guys whose graffitti adorns the wall in the background. The photos were purchased almost 5 years ago when I had a diffferent web page and email or I'd probably have heard more about it from the director /producer sooner. We are back in touch now. He is fixing the credit to read Photo by Ann Sanfedele - at the moment the credit says Photo Courtesy of Ann Sanfedel (no e') sigh.
