I get that... 20-30 TB on 4 or 5 HDD here...spring cleaning... stuff from 5 yrs ago... documentaries, movies, tele shows.. I'll never, ever watch. I want to set up a RAID system before I pass on for all my audio books too! :)Quote:

See what a miss spent youth gets you? :blink: Then I looked at your post again... oh my ... MY memory is getting stressed lately! :frusty:
Umm... actually mine were just big coffin liners. They fit better that way. :yup: :lol: "Inner calm of my filter..." "..made of dirt...' i LUV THIS GUY! ;)
Right now Anon, i can honestly say i am deleting shit off my drives (20TB just replaced/upgraded to 4TB drives)just as much as i am downloading. Funny i had so many TV shows that were cancelled with cliff hangers, or didn't make the cut, let alone how many pilot episodes, so basically tons of separate folders with one episode in it!!!...It does really amaze me on how many good shows (or at least i thought), never got to a second season...Quote:

The truth i do have more than half of that 20TB empty...
I have, it's a skill I happen to be good at :happy: Though I don't know how well the concept could be applied to movie watching... well, maybe if you have four TVs and speed up the video :wacko:Quote:

Accomplishes the same results, but is easier, faster and uses up less disk space! Also, I have like five or six of those text files, which may or may not mean something.Quote:

Ok real time, we both know that it was a joke, but still even the thought of having the ability of watching multiple screens at the same time, i really can't see any enjoyment or purpose??Quote:

Here is something to think about.....
You claim to be a speed reader, truth Anon my wife and son are as well.. A question i never asked them?? i know say in my wife's perspective she prefers to read a paperback book vs say reading a screen or some sort of electronic device, do you feel the same??
Now my son also listens to pod casts etc, but sill prefers reading an actual book for personal enjoyment...
Interesting thought Anon, and you know i am always open to grow my portfolio:)Quote:

I never really thought about it, or at least found one highly desirable over the other. If I have a de facto preference for electronic books, it's because they don't use up additional physical space and are easier to copy :chris: Some people complain that looking at a glowing rectangle tires their eyes... set the brightness and color temperature to the lowest you can comfortably deal with (mine are 34% and 2300K) and it's all good.Quote:
