/Computing/Mac New GIANT Hard Drive

Well, the once seemingly huge 60G drive on my G4 desktop has been starting to feel cramped lately. Last I checked I "only" had 8M left. With the imminent arrival of the Garage Band Jam Pack, which I believe takes another 3G, I was definitely in need of more hard drive space. As luck would have it, I happened to be in MicroCenter the other day with a friend that was shopping for a new Mac laptop, and they had LaCie 160GB firewire drives on sale for $169. Geez, just over $1 per gig. Hard to pass up, so I bought one. It's now humming away hosting my 25GB or so of music, with 122.5GB free. And suddenly my original hard drive has 31GB free. Unreal. The only thing cooler would be to have bought two of them and run them as a mirrored RAID array. Maybe when they get even cheaper.
