- Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.

A terabyte? And it's not RAID configured? For a terabyte, a couple of baskets seems pretty reasonable.

We saw a 1.5TByte disk at Best Buy.

Be careful -- it might just be an actor pretending to be the Terabyte, in which case you'll be lucky to make it to an E-Boat and safety.

"..And so put all my eggs into one basket!.."
No...you buy two.

That's a crappy backup solution. What if there is an earthquake, fire, theft, ...
I encrypt my files and place them as spectral noise in pornography and make it available on the net.
I even have people emailing me asking to help implement my backup solution.
It is rare I cannot find backups of my files using Google Image search.

LOL, Jerry.

I'm in favor of buying two... and then mailing one of them to my mother's place in Colorado...

also numerous auto backup to the net solutions running around $50 per year.
not sure about mac
I use carbonite It took about two weeks to backup everything (about 50 gig) and now it just hums along.
the added benefit is that the FBI or NSA or HSA can just go directly to the server instead of bothering you at home.

That explains why we're all having to look for extra diskspace, then. Now I know who's to blame for my being down to my last 20Gb.
I upload all my thoughts to unsuspecting blogs whence they can be retrieved via arduous searching. There must be a good 2kb up there somewhere.

What's the next level?
I was just thinking how in 94 or 95 a co-worker said that he had just purchased a computer with a 1 GB hard drive, and that was the latest thing.
I suppose that with more people buying movies and storing them, the storage requirements will go up quite a bit.

I wonder which piece of equipment the Prof bought.
I have a Bufalo Terastation 1Tb, raid 5, so it is only about 750Gb. The urge to buy was the swelling photo files and video files on the 3 drives connected to the computer.
The 1st one died on me, under warranty, - not the drives, just one of the circuit boards.
The replacement had drives that were not plug compatible with the old so I had to rebuild files from CDs and DVDs. This was a pain but not to bad as the disks were still usable.
It takes about 3 to 4 days for the files to be transfered to the Terastation over the ethernet cable. Maybe I should upgrade my router to a newer faster version?
