Good advice. I use the "time machine" to back everything up to a portable hard drive, and then periodically exchange it with another portable that I keep at my inlaws (what are the chances of an earthquake that devastates both SF and LA?)

I never thought I'd fill up 80G, but those raw files and CDs take up a lot of space!
