Bonus Run
As I have stated in a previous post, I was thinking of upgrading Scarlett's hard drive to 120Gb. When I checked with my dealer, however, her warranty will be voided if I did that. Bummer.
So I'm just thinking of upgrading her RAM, instead, although prices are quite high right now. I'll probably postpone that decision unless I have to.
Anyway, I just resorted to the external solution for my storage woes. Fortunately, I found this huge 500Gb branded external hard drive for a song.
That's the reason for the lack of entry yesterday. I was busy transferring (backing up) my files from Scarlett, Lindsay and Mandy. Plus, I got to transfer my files from Jessica back into this hard drive.
Unfortunately, I had to retain the FAT 32 file system for the drive since I still run a mixed network. That's when I discovered this dang 4Gb limit per file. I never thought I will have to go over this limit, until I tried to transfer my Parallels XP virtual hard disk to this new drive (it ran into 5.38Gb).
Anyway, I'll solve that problem and I even managed to reload Ubuntu Linux into this drive (the virtual drive ran into about 2.3Gb).
And how much space does this all occupy in my new hard drive? Only about 65Gb. I still have 400Gigs to go. And that's probably not filling up anytime sooner.
Well, with my bonus run today, it appears Bea, Nico and I will have a merry Christmas after all...
I tried a piccolo at some music store the other day. It was expensive and I need to really work at it to decently play it. There was also a sale on the soprano saxophone and I almost bought it. I only restrained the impulse because I could not try it out (since it was sealed).
Got to get some sleep. I asked one of the "chamber" members to bring his clarinet and saxophone at out Saturday session so I can try them out before deciding to buy one...
