Comments on: Is that a gigabyte in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? http://www.brucew.com/blog/2004/06/03/21 It's a male midlife crisis story—only without the red sports car and trophy boyfriend Sat, 22 Nov 2008 03:53:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: brucew http://www.brucew.com/blog/2004/06/03/21#comment-6 brucew Sun, 06 Jun 2004 03:34:37 +0000 http://www.brucew.com/blog/2004/06/03/21#comment-6 DJ: I go back a bit further than that (10MB), but still I had the same reaction to my first HD. Over the years I've learned that there's no such a thing as enough storage. The question I as myself now is, "I wonder how long it'll take to fill this?" The two 160GB drives I purchased in January for backup repositories are both nearly full. I have this terrible habit of backing-up regularly and never deleting old backups. With four PCs and the web server, there's a lot of stuff to back-up. As for the Cruzer, it's forcing me to pare down the amount of stuff I keep "live" in the home directory of my main PC. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is extra work. DJ:

Then when I worked at a computer store for awhile, the first 1GB drives came out and they were all the rage. And we all said "what would I ever fill that drive up with?"
