Sweet! Good questions and comments!

BeardedOne:

Yes Krysteen and Penelope are very hot.

I have a built in 16x cd burner, only problem is that the discs cost quite a bit and I would need very many to store all the files I need to store, and most cds can't store a 2.5 gig movie, which would be the very first things I want store.

Oh yes, I am a very passionate man!

Jennifer:

Yes, I thought the title was very fitting. I'm glad you like it.

gonkyy:

Very good question! I included my download tray below, but as far as shared files go you'll have to add me as a buddy on there to scan my Shared folder. PM me if you want to add.

Corvettedude:

Yeah, no kidding. I just let myself go this past year and I almost wore down my 120 gig drive to nothing. It was more than porn by the way...

yodajazz:

I might get cds for the pictures but everything else will require a larger space, also cds degrade over time, I'm not sure if they would be best for permanent storage.

loki:

Yeah, I looked in the help center and I went to multiple websites, and every one of them pissed me off by providing me with the same cop-out bullshit answer: press PrtScn or alt+PrtScn, which doesn't work, at least not for me. So I had to download a bunch of different programs, all of which had the same little cop-out bullshit, which kinda makes me think that its not really meant to print the screen like they say it does... it probably sends a picture of your desktop to the FBI to check for illegally downloaded music, movies, videogames and porn.

Finally I found one program that was actually worth a damn: MWSnap. It takes care of business. (this is for windows, I'm sure there's lots for mac tho)

DST:

Yeah I've used DVD before, but like I said it was expensive and only held like two movies on one disk.

I think what I might do is buy an external hardrive, I think that could house the massive collection I'm amounting.

They comprise one of my 'fingercuffs' fantasies.

Once I got the DVD burner I used it to offload the most massive files like full vids and major collections of pix. It's become a routine thing, now. Every couple of weeks I wash a handful of vids and folders off the drive. Though the media ain't cheap, it allows flexibility. I am, however, considering investing in another HD (External), just to migrate all the stuff in one swell foop.

What's the math on that? I ask because I've run into some grief of late with some old 3 1/2 and LS120 disks. Some files are erratic, at best, while others no longer read at all. How long will these puppies last before I have to copy them off to new media or kiss them goodbye?

FYI: you can get 100 DVDs for ~ $35.00 us @ newegg.com

Let me get this straight: You joined a year ago and the only post you've ever made was today, to tell us that we can get a hundred dvds for $35.00 us? Are you serious? Am I supposed to throw a hundred Disney DVDs at my computer? Or are you actually serious?

You can always go the bigger hard drive route. I have about 1.5 TB of hard drive space. That might be abit much for some but I am a computer geek.

[ballzNnutz]

this is a good idea. since im a bufoon when it comes to computers i took a 3/4 of a hour to figure out how he took his pictures well here is mines but not organized like his. his is great.

Heh, that last one looks so much like my file setup that I almost clicked on one of the folders.
