I work with cartridges at work, not used reel to reel myself, not old enough!

I normally keep HDDs, just because I am a bit of a hoarder, but mainly for info.

Also good for showing none geeks, to try and explain how old something is. People understand HDDs as they can...

I just did a search, there is one going for £20 at moment, good luck!

It does still have Irix, release 6.5 on it.

NTFS seemed the best option (I don't use MACs, and FAT couldn't support large enough files). I...

I chose NTFS to provide better support for when I boot into windows, as some don't support it

Touche! 20Mb, 50Mb soon =D

Music, videos, pictures, software and the like!

Okay, I currently own a 1.5TB external HDD called Henri on the image below. I managed to fill it up (currently 3.8GB of space left), so decided to invest in a 2TB internal HDD (so I could backup all...

Mixed, depending on what's happening.
I work very weird shifts, so I sleep when I can!
One trick is the 2 hours a day sleep. Your brain only needs 2 hours of deep REM sleep to be fully refreshed....
