With storage prices dropping steadily, I never felt the need to discard anything, and now things got to a point where any cleanup effort would have to be colossal to have any real impact on this situation.<BR/><BR/>What oft amazes me though, is that I still <I>can</I> find just about anything I wish in this mess.

Sure, you'll want your applications, but are these data files too? I keep a lot of stuff in a central place, 40GB of WMA files, and 5 years of family snaps live on the server at home. The laptops only have current projects on them, and the one that goes to the office has mere 10GB of music, just to keep my sanity.<BR/><BR/>Being so thin, does that thing even have a PC card slot or ExpressCard slot?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434318898333768620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-41955487842005107052008-05-01T15:23:00.000+00:002008-05-01T15:23:00.000+00:00I'm going to buy a laptop soon.

Or at least, where should I look 'round for reviews?Cliff Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802582120662929152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-4493136671991783022008-05-01T15:06:00.000+00:002008-05-01T15:06:00.000+00:00Each time I get a new Mac, the build quality gets ...Each time I get a new Mac, the build quality gets even better. <BR/><BR/>Only frustration right now is that I have way too many files for the automatic Migration Assistant software to work, and it won't do it partially, so I can't figure out any easy way to transfer my settings, bookmarks, macros...Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-92048289962286169152008-05-01T14:08:00.000+00:002008-05-01T14:08:00.000+00:00Mac has some of the worst unrecyclable packing his...Mac has some of the worst unrecyclable packing history - I see they still use styrofoam.

Some use plastics, and others use paper and cardboard products. Kodak has done a great job of using recycled paper/cardboard for their packaging for printers and cameras.<BR/>And congratulations on your new laptop!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
