backing up an 80 gig hard drive is a rather tedious affair, especially considering i have only my old 4x sony crw-100 burner to help me out. the problem is that it was a lousy burner when i got it five years ago (not my fault, i promise) and it hasn’t gotten any better with age. needless to say, the going is very slow, and knowing that there are NEC dvd burners going for about $100 on newegg isn’t helping in the least bit. So I tell myself, “Pearl, you must save your pennies now or else you won’t be able to afford Coachella! and you don’t want to miss Coachella now, do you? How can you miss Radiohead, the Flaming Lips, the Pixies, Death Cab for Cutie, Basement Jaxx, Paul Van Dyk, Belle and Sebastian, Ferry Corsten, the Crystal Method, Air, the Black Keys, Bright Eyes, Junior Senior, the Rapture, Stereolab, and a million other awesome amazing bands? Oh and did I mention the Cure? Cursive? and the Thrills? I can keep going, but eventually it just gets to be meaningless shout-outs and name-dropping. Oh wait, too late, it already is.
Needless to say, Coachella is looking like it’s going to be freaking awesome this year, as it was last year and the year before (sorry, didn’t have the digicam then). I’d better not miss it because I blow $100 on a DVD drive I don’t need. Yet.
/end rant. Back to backing up…
might be a better deal to wait for dual layer dvd burners
