How to fill up unused space on HDs.From the part of Char's post you didn't quote:
"When I say tossed out, I mean I dropped off a big box of stuff at a
local computer shop. One person's junk is another's treasure."
But I agree about 1 TB to 500 GB being too small to be of use.
Maybe I need to start recording more video or something
1. Rip lots of audio CDs to 392Kbs MP3 format or FLAC.
2. Copy all video DVDs, convert them to other formats for iPad and the like.
3. Collect pictures from all over the Net.
4. Never empty caches and the Recycle Bin.
5. Retain lots & lots of backups and system images.
6. Convert all your old VCRs to digital.
7. Install a TV card, record everything.
8. Get a digital camera, visit a new town every weekend, take zillions
of pics in best quality format, upload to the HD.
And if that doesn't work, do what my sister does with her laptop. I'm
not too sure just how she does it but she regularly fills up the HD with
Skype conversations.
