to help prevent a repeat scenario of a dark day in history, or as i like to call it, the tragedy of '05, i recently purchased a 1 terabyte, (1,000 gb) external hard drive for backing up my personal data. what with a bloated music library, and my recent additions of a tv tuner card, and a flip video recorder, the time was right for adding some storage capacity. my previous backup method had become sketchy at best and recently stopped being recognized by my computer all together.
to put this in perspective for those "tech?no" folks who may be reading this, my first computer had a hard drive of 1 gb. my new external hard drive is equivalent to 1,000 of those hard drives. this may mean nothing to you but it means more piece of mind to me. sad? maybe a little, but there's just no excuse for not having important data backed up anymore. it's too easy not to do it.
