bone in sub

hot dang i have a lot of hard drives connected right now:

that’s:
(my computer)
(its internal drive)
my 1tb external, for important files like audio, virtual machines, photoshop things. name is from its brand name, “simpledrive”.
my 500gb external, for raw dv files ripped from tape. also stores the backups of the four hard drives that were in my old computer.
my 200gb external, for use as a time machine back up. get it.
my other 200gb external, btb is a mysterious acronym that relates to downloading. . . .
my 4gb flash drive. the brand is “DIESEL”, it’s for bringing movies and tv shows to the living room. sneakernet
my 8gb flash drive, which i made into a fake Snow Leopard dvd. it took like 2 hours to ‘burn’ it, yikes.

i bought a PATA (“IDE”) enclosure so i could get all the stuff off my old hard drives. it was actually insanely hard to find one in real life (not ordering it online), i mean i know standards are always moving along, but i built that computer 6 years ago. 6 years for a format to go from the de facto standard to unsupported!
