Ugh....I keep running out of computer storage space!!!
I keep buying hard drives thinking they will be enough to store what I need, and then find myself filling them up too easily and then having to invest in yet more storage.

I have a 120GB external almost entirely filled with all my cds/music.

I have a 120GB internal that is almost entirely filled with all of my family's 35 years of home movies which I just converted.

And then a 250gb external that has all my stuff as a back up since I'm paranoid about losing any and all of this stuff in a computer crash.

This is fine if I don't count on aquiring more music or if I don't record any home movies going forward (I just bought a digital camcorder and my daughter is only 3 so I'm sure I will be needing plenty more).

1. I need to buy CD-R's.
To burn a lot of the music I have on the computer onto a disc. So I can free up some MB's.

3. Mine is all stuff from my cds and records already...
I just don't want to have to re-import 2,000 cand records to a computer drive. It took me so long to do it the first time.

5. I'm afraid you'll need to cut back on your porn.
Or at least invest in magazines and videos.
