I live on the edge.

I only back up the mp3's that have a genre of "Top 40" there is about 2,600 or so.

>> how much drive space does 131,000 songs take?
depends on how big the files are

yeah....but how would you back up so much anyway...and what if your backup fails?  I mean, it's a slippery slope of investing more and more money.  live on the edge.  its the only way.

I once took a 200 MB drive to some programmers in the Ukraine.  When I set it down on the table, they said "chuda" (miracle).  I agreed with them.  It was only $800.  Now I have a 128MB memory stick that costs about $90 and it's so small I'm worried about losing it.

thats so true

I had a 5 meg drive about 20 years ago and it was the size of a bread box, and thats why I only have one arm and one leg now.

I hold a roll of quarters on one hand to keep myself balanced now days.

OK, it took me a couple of minutes, but I get it.  Sounds like one of Dad's jokes.

>> i bought the very first SCSI drive 120 megs
and before that they had smaller SCSI drives, I owned them

i had that 5 meg SCSI drive, and 2-each "Alpine" 30meg drives (alpine is no longer)

and Percom the orginal 5 1\4 inch drive makers, they created how a disk is to be formated and layed out. the drives were like tanks mine must have been 20lbs. also went the way of dust.

but your price is about right on the 120meg drives, those were the days

hehehe, yea don't it
