Important Milestone?

Huh? Out of hard disk space?

When we were back in the States over the holidays we purchased a new 1TB hard drive - yep 1 terabyte, that's 1000 gigabytes, or just more memory then you would ever think that you would need. And yes, we bought it in Chicago - electronics seem to be much cheaper once you get outside of China, even if they were made in China and then exported out, so we try to make most of those big purchases when we are out on a holiday somewhere. This new addition is now our third external hard drive - we have a 500GB that we had back before we moved, and not that long ago we filled that up and ran up the street and purchased a smaller 320GB drive.

We are memory hogs. We know that and accept it. Especially now that we both have SLR cameras that we almost always have with us - we took 166GB of photos last year. All those that we load onto Flickr are only a small, and we believe the better, portion of what we took.

So, yeah sorry I got distracted, this new milestone that we hit? Well back when we picked up our new hard drive we connected it to our friend's computer and copied the music files that they had so that we could load them up onto our iPod when we returned. Mike is a sax player, really knows his jazz which makes for a good collection along with a ton of other great music - much of which we did not already own. Since we've been back I've been slowly transferring these files from our download directory into iTunes and organizing them so we can get them transferred onto the two iPods that we now have...

We've still got a lot of music to transfer, but I looked down today when I finished transferring some Brazilian jazz albums and we officially had just over 20,000 songs on our iTunes. I think that's some kind of milestone - maybe one that says we're crazy. We've still got almost 2,000 more songs from Mike to load up too....
