In addition to the transparent images made by dragging an image to the address window, select all (and dragging) generates a screen capture. You cant drop it into Photoshop, so I'm not sure what the point is, but it looks purdy.

I think people watching you wear these would assume you're looking at porn. That may or may not bother you.

I got very, very close twice. I'm basically playing a game with myself; see how long I can hold out, and get a bunch of spending money/build up savings before moving out. I've been pretty good at the spending part, but need to ramp up the savings part. I'd like to get an apartment as close to work as possible, and maybe get rid of my car, but the price is unreal. Plus the one guy I had planned to room with two years ago already moved out, so I'd be paying 100%. I'd hardly be able to buy any music, and thats just not going to cut it. Hopefully I'll get another 10% raise at the job in January, and get a bit more of a cushion. They gave me a 10% raise after 3 months, which was this past January, and I'm told they pretty much always give out at least a cost-of-living raise that time of year.

25. Born 12/30/82. And yes, I know I'm a mooch for still living at home. But it does allow for some nice discretionary income for Amazon edit: not sure what speed internet we have. Slow and slower would be an accurate description.

There seems to be an overwhelming amount of discontent with the MyBook series on the egg and elsewhere. Though it may be from the overwhelming market share WD has, IDK. Just FYI.

I wish my family would get it. I'm not worried about download speed, I need upload speed. Its absolutely abysmal with Comcast. I had to quit Mozy because of it. Sumbitches.

Anyone use Thunderbird? I've never tried it.

You're welcome I'm particularly glad to simplify the amount of external psu units lying around. My computer has enough wires as it is.

And they're ribbed for her pleasure

Oh yeah. I bought two of them I'm not aware of many competing products, but there is this: It can only do smaller hard drives, due to USB bus power. This one doesnt I prefer the BlacX form better though. Nice and simple.

I never cared for it. Too whiny.

I posted twice?

Yeah, I can definitely see why the did it. I'm already getting used to it

whoa, the times they are a changin'. Glad to see all my add-ons are still working Not sure I dig the gigantic back button. Very function > form. I'll probably love it in a week though.

1: Good question. I've found the hard drives I use to be pretty cool. Yes there is no fan, so computers have the potential to have cooler temps for the drives, but my computer puts out some real heat, and even with 2 120mm fans for inake, I've found the drives inside it to feel at least as warm to the touch. Not exactly a scientific measurement, though. Alot of people are adamant that heat is not detrimental to hard drive life, at least the common amount of heat in computer towers. Also, most of the drive case surface gets constant exposure to air. The entire platter section is outside of the BlacX case. The part of the drive enclosed is mostly just all the connector junk. From memory, I'd say maybe an inch or so of the drive is inside. Its locked until you release it, so you dont have to worry about it falling out. 2: The BlacX itself makes no noise, but the noise from the HDs is going to depend on what make/model you have. I use these, and they only really make a spinning noise when being accessed from being idle. Its an odd noise, something I dont hear from my computer, because the case blocks it. It only lasts for about 1/4 of a second. Its not that loud though. I only notice it 'cause I'm sitting right next to it. In a HT setting, it would be very, very faint, if audible at all. 3: No not at all. Its not my OS drive though. Just audio. I've been using USB drives for audio/video/data for a while and they seem to work just as well as internal sata as far as accessing the data. Writing to and from is not as fast though. But nothing significant.

I'd sink all you can into the dac, then worry about secondary hard drives later. Hard drives dont go up in price, and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I've not regretted upgrading my source to a similar price point. When you do get to hard drives, I recommend getting something like this: Thermatake BlacX. With it, I now use hard drives like floppies OEM internal hard drives are the cheapest kind, and 2009 should see 2TB drives in a single 3.5" unit:cool:

I bet that gives a nice back massage

I should listen to this tonight. I was looking for the DCC a while back (maybe a year ago?) on ebay. New, sealed copies were + $400 I've got a digital version now, though I should post a comparison of the DCC and a vinyl transfer I had done. Remind me to do so if I dont post it tonight. **edit: Provided I have it on the hard drives it is on currently at my house.
