How much HDD Space does your Computer have?

[Woodrow]

:vomit:

I feel like this has turned into some macho contest and I've been left in the dust. :uhwhat

If you had done it on bandwidth and connection speed instead of HDD size, I'd be the one crying and feeling lost. Right now if I got 2 tin cans and a piece of string to use as my Internet connection, I would call it an upgrade.

Well, you can't have your 20-pound cake and eat it too.

It still puzzles me what a man can do with a terabyte of space. :?

You can, however, turn at least 500GB into a server and rent it to small businesses. Think about it, many people are not PC-savvy, you can make your hard-drive work for you! *eureka*

don't worry, u have a friend in the dust. ME...
12 GIGS..talk about embarrassment...
actually when u have upto like 500 gigs or more, isn't it really hard to find the files u r looking for?

My thoughts exactly, and me, at 9GB, man, its tough finding a SINGLE-digit fella like me. ffended:

Its at least good to know that someone's hassling with HDD space and is in the struggle!

They don't understand, man, that's the problem, they just don't know the struggle. :uhwhat

One day, they will, hopefully, well, not Woodrow, he'll never know the HDD struggle, neither will lolwatever or Samee.

If it's any consolation, my first (well more of a home) computer had 6.5 GB.

Well you've stepped up to 80GB, I'm STILL, in this modern age, at only 9GB...out of 5,000 forummers here, I've got the smallest hard-drive...:-[

WHO RUINED MY POLL??!!! :'(

 

[Al-Hanbali]

My first computer had less than 5 GB

It got torn apart by viruses to no end, it was a disgusting and devestating scene. ffended:

Then my sister got me a temporary PC, the 9GB one. Then my dad too got me a temp. PC, like 300GB, then my sister offered to probe it, but left it in her car, left the door open...robbers...history...:uhwhat

Oddly believe it or not, I'm already thinking I don't have enough HDD room. Thinking about adding a few more external drives. Right now I am doing a few things at the same time. I am burning video DVD's of Qur'an recitations to give as gifts to the Children in my grandson's Qur'an Study class. I'm printing the labels for the dvd's, I'm recording a TV documentary and saving it as a file to watch later. I'm converting an old Family VHS tape to DVD format to burn to DVD's later. I'm here on LI, Right now I have 6 windows open. One is for BOINC, One is here, One is a data site to learn a bit more about Newer PC stuff,Im burning that to a CD, One is my bank, One is a weather site, and the last is one of my image host sites I'm rearranging the files my stuff is in. In addition I have both the SETI and Eintsein Projects compiling the last data I received and after the program figures out what the Data means it will be sent back to them. Although the SETI program is the acronym for "Search for ExtraTerrestial Intelligence" that is actually just an artifact of the project. The basic and largest part of the project is the locating and identifying things like Quasars, Pulsars and Black Holes. It is similar to basic astronomer, only using a radio telescope insted of an optical one. The immensness of just the known universe, is beyond comprehension. Between August 27 and August 30 my pc did 235.59 Quadrillion floating -point operations. Althought those are tempoary operations and only stay on the PC for a short time I keep 100 GIG of space dedicated just for the SETI tempoary files. The portion of the sky that my pc is analysing is only the size of a pin head when looking at the sky with the naked eye. I was participating in SET before on my old PC, but after getting this one I started a new account and can now let them use a lot of drive space. I get data from the Radio telescope at Areceibo once an hour while I am on line and when I'm off line the PC compiles it all and does the computations then the results are sent back.

It is so over whelming to view the works of Allah(swt) I never get over just seeing how much there is just in the tiny speck that I will every see. To me the Greatest value of Projects like SETI is to see the majesty of Allah's(swt) creation.
