I Gotz My Box. →[More:]Well, not exactly, but I am as happy as that little bugger. I managed to install my USB 2.0 card and hook my 250GB external HD and it's backing up the Jonmc Music Museum as we speak, thus making it easily available to any of my local compadres and (whew) backed up. I am so happy.

After each full backup I get that feeling too. Whew! Now you need to make it easily to find and grab in case of ~~RIAA raid~~ fire.

We're talking almost 20,000 songs here, some of which were incredibly difficult to find, so I'm making damn sure to back it all up. Even with the usb 2.0 it'll take an hour or two.

That sloth is so gangsta.

shit with 20k songs and some super difficult to get again, you should make a backup of the backup and keep it down at the bank.

Man, if I had a box, I wouldn't let those slothass claws anywhere near it.

I have a lot on homeburned CD's and on the iPod, too. I've got this shit wired tight eight ways from tuesday. and like I said, when I get a new system, file transfer will be a piece of cake, and if any of the MeChaNy Posse wants the stuff, they can just bring their laptop to the bar and we'll hook it up.

Awesome! (I wants me a slothbox, too... sloths have the right idea. No one rushes a sloth.)

well, hellbient, you do realize this means that if you have a laptop that can accomodate 69 gigs of music, the collection as at your disposal. Beer is accepted as payment:).

it just so happens that I do have a laptop, jonmc. Even better would be an external HD, eh? It is on my list.

My external is available to be hoovered into your laptop at your disposal, my friend.
