    How big is yours?

    Hands up, who thought this was a thread about lenses?

    You should all be shot, it was supposed to make you think penis size....god, everyone forgets how to be immature so quickly...

    Anyway, I realised I haven't done a total backup of my images recently, so went to check how many DVDs I'd need.....15!!!! There's 65 Gb of pics on my hard drive!! What the hell happened there?

    Now, that's not including a couple of directories of edited pics, nor any other digital media (I hate to think how much space all my ripped camcorder stuff comes to), so how's about you lot? What ya got?

    I think I'm around the 15- 18gb mark, but I backup to an external USB hard drive so it makes it a bit easier for me

    Oh, I've got the whole external hard drive backup thing, two in fact (one maxtor 160, one maxtor 250, both with full backups). I've even got a full backup on my wife's Mac....so there's another 195gb, but that doesn't count. I've got one copy (about 6months out of date) with my folks, one with my wife's folks, and one sitting in a safety deposit box (sounds like overkill, but it's there for business reasons and I might as well use the space up somehow).

    Fuddan...I found myself dreaming about Blue Ray the other day....until I realised at release write speeds, it would take me about a month to write it all to disk....
