Remember when..
Aug. 15th, 2011 11:35 am345 Meg hard drives were huge? Even when a 10 meg hd was 'all the space you would need'.
The only reason I mention this is I have a 500 gb hd that I have been using for making system back ups. I have one on a smaller drive that I did shortly after the 'right' computer showed up. Installed some basic programs then made a system back up. I put that one away in a drawer to not be used unless of complete hd failure. But regarding the 500 gb drive, the problem is there is only 2.5 megabytes left of free space. I have next back up scheduled in about a week, and have changed space settings as to delete the older system images/data. Even with this, I will be hard pressed to have enough space.
I could get another large externally powered storage drive, but I want the ability to unplug the drive, and put it somewhere secure and not have to working about finding a power adapter along with the USB cord. So, I went 'shopping' and have gotten two USB powered 1 tb drives. I figured that terabyte drive would be the way to go, as that is what the full size if of the drive in the computer, both C and the D:\Data.

Nostalgia kick revisited
Aug. 15th, 2011 12:51 pm"Kolchack: The Night Stalker". The original series, not the more modern rehash.
Much (if not all) of the tech is outdated, but the story lines and acting still hold their own. Darren McGavin was great as the enthusiastic, if a bit clumsy, investigative journalist. And Simon Oakland was fabulous, if a bit predictable, as his crotchety boss.
Pardon me while I enjoy the show.

Nope, didn't change my mind about them

They are still a bunch of bought and paid for by PACs and corporations, close minded, ignorant, uneducated, narrow minded, hypocritical idiotic , lying hominids who would joyously drag the US into being their fucked up flavor of a Christian fundamentalist theocracy. Iran, but with a cross instead of crescent moon.
These morons are the best thing to happen for the Democratic party.
