Early Saturday morning my external hard drive failed. Where I kept 122 gb's worth of photographs and music. Not replaceable-the photographs anyway.
I kept myself under control and switched it off and on and off and on and off and on......praying it would come back to life. It did! I then went and bought another one, much cheaper and more space too, and transferred everything over to the new one.
I also have backed up all 122 gb's onto DVD.
Now I have discovered that these external hard drives have limited life and really ought to be used for back up only and so turned on maybe one a week.
Okay, so now I will buy another internal hard drive to store my stuff on, using the external as back up.
When I bought this pc it had 80gb's and I thought then 'what would I need that much for? Now 200bg's is nowhere near enough......
I'm not willing to let this go...

My first external hard drive had 20 Megs. I thought it was HUGE! So - Here's the question - Are we keeping more stuff, or did we have a LOT of paper around?
