Mine's working as well, but I'd like another one for back-up.

This day is so slooow.

Slow MX wise, or slow in general?

MX is kind of slow, so I guess I might be doing some useful things around the house.
Plus, I'll be cooking tonight.

crazy europeans with your absurd time zones

good morning mx

Both. I have nothing to do 'til later this evening, so I was hoping that I would be able to pass some time on MX, but it hasn't been happening much here today.

I should probably bring forth my vacuum cleaner, but I can't be bothered.

Myeah, not too much going on.
I guess we're the only ones awake/not working.
:lol:
I should vacuum my room too, and put my dirty laundry in the washing machine.
But also I can't be bothered.

Tyler was awake when I woke up, but he went to sleep and then I haven't had anyone to talk to. But now there are a few online.

It's a good idea man...they're going for really cheap right now, and it will be worth it when your current one starts slowing/crashing.

As soon as I get some money, at the end of the month, I'll buy a new one.

Also: 10k posts.

how much are decent external hd's usually

Usually, very early in the morning, there will be an aussie online, like Jono or Jason.
But from about mid day till 4 pm it's usually very quiet around here.
Except for certain Europeans, who seem to have nothing else of importance to do. :p
hahah.

EDIT:
Congrats on making your 'goal'.

I have lots of important stuff to do: surf the internet, watch the Olympics. :D

500 gig ones are selling for under $100
And that's with a reputable company (Western Digital)

I'm planning on getting a 1 TB HDD. Have a 320GB and 120GB one both almost full. They are around 170 - 200 USD. I'm pretty sure there are cheaper ones but they might thrash all your stuff one day.

You're grossly overpaying, dude.

I'm not buying one now. I'm just looking for. I'll wait for the prices to drop down. Like the 500 gigs did.

Yeah, I was pretty pissed. I picked up a 250 gig for $120, then a week later it dropped to $90 and the 500 gig was at $120.

That sh[I]i[/I]t always happens to me with electronics.

My wife and I have a 750 gig I think. It's pretty sweet.

That happens to everyone actually.
Electronics prices are so shite. going up and down like a crazy man

True dat. I had gotten a 80 gig iPod and then they came out with a 160gig for the same price shortly thereafter. Upsetting, I still got the 160 though, lol.

Wonder if they would make TB iPods. That'd be ace. I can't fit in my 30 gig one.. It's impossible.

my next digital music player purchase will be a 160 gig ipod for certain

won't be for a little while though

How much are ipods going now a days?
I have the 3rd Gen 20gig...back then it was $300.

I remain loyal to Creative Zen.
I love that machine and hate the commercial **** of apple.
:p

I have some Japanese thing called a 'gigabeat' right now, it's alright though pretty obviously set up by people who don't speak English very well in how things are organized and such

My friend had a Zen and it kept having problems. Well I have to say that iPods are pretty solid only had a problem with my previous 20 gig photo iPod 3 years ago. I went to the service and they asked like 120 euros or something like that. After a little examination I figured out that the hard disc wasn't spinning. So I slapped it 5 6 times and it still works like a charm now.. So yea **** apple :lol:

But I'll still buy another iPod. I've become Apple's bitch...:upset:

I've never had trouble with my Zen, I've had it 4,5 years now.
The battery isn't as good as in the beginning any more, but oh well.

I love my 80 gig iPod.

Next related purchase will be an iPhone + service whenever I get a job :(

160 gig iPod is something I need as well.

The next thing I'm picking up are a router, modem, and usb wireless N adapter for my new apartment :)

i have an ipod nano and its gone to ****
