Flashes of Panic

While I’m attempting to shed stuff, I notice that Scheherazade is, as usual, doing it more thoughtfully. (On the other hand, I think my closet is a bit more boring than hers. OK, a lot more boring.)

I should also add that one of my external hard drives is now on eBay. It’s tiny (6 GB and about the size of two decks of cards) and therefore portable, but 6 GB isn’t enough for me to back up to anymore. I got this drive in 2000, when I was working for another company and had a laptop that belonged to the company. I kept all my personal files and programs on this drive, and when it was time to give the laptop back, I could just unplug the drive.

It’s Firewire, which not all PCs have but nearly all Macs have nowadays. It’s also very fast, particularly if you’re used to USB.
