Qqu 90 bucks! man I think even i can afford that!
Holly shit that's awesome roger!? where do you find those.
Are those combatible with Ubuntu...if you even know that is. Before the
mods (probably steve or whoever) say: uh seriusly dude? and at what time?
I love ubuntuu for a lot of
Nick these all sound like pretty good ideas. To me it seems like their's
always some need to get a pretty good sized hard drive. FWIW I didn't guess
right for my computer. I thought 1 terabyte would be plenty. I am wrong.
As to the cloud. Yeah I don't know. For back up? It's pretty good. I just
I think getting the largest SSD you can afford is a good idea, 500G SSD
internal drives are around $90, a terabyte is less than twice that. Get a
laptop with a small SSD in the best technology and have someone swap in a
bigger and badder drive.
Just don't lose the laptop. My dad spilled orange
Depending on the size of the computer, with smaller ones being less likely to
allow it, most of them will be able to have two hard drives. A frequent
configuration now is to have a primary drive that Windows is installed on,
which is an SSD, and a secondary larger non-SSD drive. Annoyingly
Marcus idea is good. During years I have been using a cheap Chinese SD card
as main drive using LINUX OS running on an old tiny laptop which lack of a
mechanical hard drive. I have just updated to a newer Linux distribution
and I also installed Dropbox there, so I always bring my important files.
If the issue is bulk, most laptops will accept these cards:

Thanks, everybody.
In my world, hyperspeed is not a big deal. The big deal for this 80 year old
is cognitive burden. So a this point I have stuff on the hard drive, stuff on
a 1t drive and stuff on Carbonite, and this, for me, is a ticket for disaster.
So also is a system in which every

My guess is that your 460 GB drive is a spinning hard drive, and that
the new computer has a solid state drive (SSD). This is a *good* thing
since the SSD drives are much faster. The prices on Amazon for 1TB
drives are around $50 and the 2TB drives are close. My suggestion is to

Nick,
One approach is to run a program that converts the system into a virtual
machine image. There are different codes for this depending on your
virtualization software. (vmware, hyper v, virtualbox, etc.) Then you get a
big (!) folder representing your old system that you can put on an
I was about to give up on my 460 Gig hd HP because [it was old and] I was
running out of disk space, only to discover that the standard machine
offered by my university to replace it has LESS disk space. Wondering how
people are storing stuff. Are the days of buying larger and larger hard
