It's great for testing images also to see
if they will fly, too. I'm setting up a work
PC just for hooking up things that take up
too much space on my desk; IE, Programmers,
dev boards, Scanner, etc....... I will have
my emulators on there and copy all of my
images that I'm working on over to CF cards.
That frees up my Internet PC from having too
much stuff clogging it up.

I find that my 7GB of Apple stuff takes up only a tiny sliver
of my disk space...

With Fry's selling Seagate 300GB (16MB cache) ATA and SATA
drives for about $80, it's hard to run out of space!  ;-)

While Moore's "Law" has pretty much petered out for improvements
of single-thread processor performance, the hard disk guys continue
to out-run Moore with density and speed improvements.

The silicon run was good while it lasted, but we're having to
work hard for the last order of magnitude these days.  As the
rate of improvement slows and the required capital investment
soars, the whole "wait 'til next year if you can't afford it"
mentality is due for a sea change.

If it weren't for massive consolidation and the cost reductions
that come from economies of scale, things would be even dryer in
silicon valley.
