I have a 20TB NAS downstairs with 6.8TB free, I'm not sure what I'd do with

AA> Wow. Hard to let go of stuff even when it's digital, eh?
A lot of is is ripped DVDs. Several years ago I just HAD to have every TV
show I watch on DVD, which was awesome at the time, but then became a pain
when you'd be done a disc and *gasp* now you have to get up and change a
disc.
Now they're all ripped and sitting there on the NAS so I can watch from the
the Apple TV in the living room or on my laptop in my office when I'm working
from home. I have everything from all seasons of Friends, Will & Grace, Star
Trek: TNG, Voyager & Enterprise (just to name a few) on there to any movie
I've ever bought ripped.
The next biggest amount of storage is laptop & PC backups. They automaticly
backup there over the network and keep a few versions in case you want to
roll back to a certain point in time. My Telegard backup is only 240MB so I
keep a month at a time whereas my laptop backup is just under 100GB.
Jay
... Alas! The poor Tagline. I knew it well.
