Of a new laptop and huge external drive! I'm not going to start playing with it till the weekend but it was a great gift to myself today!

You are also braver than I am.. I am scared to get huge externals like that because I have had a semi-large one fail on me before and I lost everything on it.. So I have a handful of smaller ones that range from 350gigs to 500 gigs.. That is about as brave as I get on those things.

I'm going to keep my smaller one with all my old stuff but I only use them for backup I keep everything on my computer so I never worry about it. I lose stuff it isn't the end of the world. The only things I back up on a zip drive on a regular basic out of fear are unpublished stories. Overall I lose stuff, eh ... I'll survive.

I like my TV shows but I would survive without them if I lost them.. What would really hurt is if I lost all the pictures of the kids I have from digital cameras that aren't printed. That is what I worry most about losing if an external fails.

I have pics backed up separately.

So ... new computer needs a name ... I'm thinking Nell seems best.
