Thanks for the info, Mikeeee, and taking the time to post, but.... shouldn't you be packing?? Enjoy your trip and bring back lots of pictures!!

Done!
Except the pillows. Nothing like sleeping on your own pillow. And mine is only an $8 pillow so If needed I can leave it behind for more room to bring souveniers home.

Was surfing online this AM on the Circuit City site and saw a 250 gb Western Digital My Book (external HD) on sale for $59 - a "web only" special that had $90 instant savings and $50 in rebates. Tried to buy it online but there was no option - only said "purchase in-store". So... I went to the local CC and there was my HD, only it was $40 more expensive in the store. I grabbed it and took it up to the customer service desk where they sold it to me for the online price - no problem. I'm filling out the rebate forms now and putting them in the mail tomorrow. I'm also in the process of copying all of my pics over to it. I've already got them backed up on DVD and on my Phanfare account (stores full sized originals online) so I'm thinking that I'm going to work exclusively off the new external HD for my pics and music (which is all backed up on my iPod).

I just thought it was such a great deal that I had to share. Here's the link!

Not a bad deal. I back up to DVD's for my pictures and stuff but that's a good price for this drive. Then again I have extra drives and just need an external case for it...decisions decisions. ;-)

I also use an external for backup, but at work. I have a script scheduled to run early morning and 1/2 hour before quitting time.

I just got a 200 GIG internal HD online for $49.99 with free shipping. Hopefully will be getting it in a few days. My 40GIG HD is currently to close to capacity than I'd like. I'm currently taking up almost 20 GIG with photos music and video.

I may get another one of those internal 200 gig's and then get the stuff to convert it to an external USB 2.0. One of the guys at work does that often and I believe it isn't very expensive for the equipment. I also thought I read here that someone does that.

I remember back in the old days...

I bought a 200 MEGAbyte hard drive for just a little over $200. Back then, "a buck a MEG" was a great deal. Now we've got deals that are "24 cents a GIG"!

So in yesterdays prices that 250 GIG drive would cost $833,333 (and change).

bump for polls -

I got a WD 500Gig external drive for less than $175. I think it was around $160 something after tax.

We have 3. I have a 500 and a 200 gig on my Mac for video editing.

We just enclosed the old hard drive from DSs computer that crashed and have that hooked up to his new computer via USB and we keep the iTunes library on that.

so basically the only difference in the external is it has a case? and mind saying where you got the 49/free shipping one( or pm , which ever). the other seems like a good deal but i am still waiting for a rebate from one deal i got in May and that just annoys me

sorry that was handicap18 who got the 49 deal so maybe he can say where

Kingston, name brand. Not high speed. Good price, IMO.

That looks like a generic version of Clamperpod's PocketPod (which is $9 shipped at the moment.) I thought about getting one but I'm holding out for a mini tripod with a little more height since I need to be able to use the viewfinder. This would probably work well for a point-n-shoot, where one can use the LCD screen to aim the camera.

 

[jtimmons]

Personally, I bought a tripod that goes from about 18 inches to 5 1/2 feet tall and only weighs a few pounds. I got it from amazon for 14.99 with free shipping.

I already have one like that (Slik U5500) but it's a bit bulky to set up on a tabletop. I thought about one of those Velbon Maxi's that get great reviews, but the cheap Slik should do OK for a while longer.

out there? Also, I was looking to purchase elements 4 but just saw that elements 5 is out. I am totally new to this and would appreciate any advice on which to purchase. Anyone know what upgrades are on elements 5? So many ?'s... Also, thanks everyone for all the great advice. I just LOVE this board!

 

[jann1033]

i pmed you

 

[LoraJ]

Is it worth it to upgrade from 4 to 5?

I recently fell in love with this program. I love how I can have it re-size my photos in one shot and in about two minutes create a website for them. Used to take me hours to do it all manually.
