The good thing about working with a bunch of IT guys is that they are always checking out new technology. With storage being so cheap, we all made portable 100 gig hard drives. What can we do with 100 gig? We all turned them into transportable mp3 and video players.
I actually use mine as a one touch backup drive for my home hard drive and mp3 player. Instead of just taking a few cds, I have my whole mp3 collection on a 5 inch by 1/4 inch hard drive. Sweet. It took me a week to move my files onto my drive.
Even better, my old Windows 98 laptop has been fully upgraded and working like a charm. I also have my new 19" wide screen monitor, upgraded to 1 gig of RAM....now if only I bought a better video card. I shouldn't have been such a cheap skate and just bit the bullet and bought a top of line card. Grrr.

here's a question for the IT guys- what is a good (ie. reliable and won't crash within a year) laptop brand? dino needs a new one. i bought him a vaio for graduation, and it stopped working on the second boot. so for us, sony is out.
melissa-
most of the guys have toshiba laptops. they are heavier but more durable. since they are all contractors they need to take the laptop back and forth a lot.
thanks, miles! we will consider toshiba!
