Good morning. Happy Friday.

Well yesterday was tax day for me. I'm still depressed. I added up all the taxes I pay, fed, state, local, social, med, real estate, and sales and over 50% of what I make goes to one tax or another. Quite depressing.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

And now for a happy question. Anyone use a bluray to back up data? We overbought at work and I have the opportunity to pick up 2 units really cheap. I have been thinking of using them for long term backups. I can backup my whole library on 20 disks or so. At a buck a disk this is pretty cheap backup

I would, but don't have a blue-ray player/burner.

It's a Plextor burner internal. Supports 12x and double layer burning so I can get 50 gig on a disk.

Oh, doin' all right--

When I started typing "Hey all", I did a mistype of "Hwy" and all of a sudden the lyrics "Highway 61, runs right by my baby's door" ran through my head -- don't know why...

Paula, getting back to this, a nagging thought comes up -- do you have a backup drive that you are utilizing? With a growing library with various external drives and such, you really need a solid backup drive in place so you can regularly make a copy of all your files.

I recently had one of my externals start behaving badly but everything was backed up so I could plug in my backup drive and be up and running while I troubleshoot the library drive.

I just have the two external drives. Thought I would be covered with the two. Use one and the other is the backup. But with the one not working now, I have no other backup unless I put all my photos back on my laptop. And use the working external as my backup.


Paula
