When I replace hard drives in my computers, I usually try to get the *smallest* drive I can find: I want it to fill up quickly so that I'm *forced* to offload files to CD or DVD frequently. I read an article about a data retrieval service that's found it needs to keep a psychologist on staff to counsel people who've lost critical data! -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
