After all, one good shoot and I can fill up the whole DVD... Based on Godfrey recommending this some time ago, I installed a 300gb drive into my computer for image and other data storage, and then bought an external enclosure with a 300gb drive installed as a back up to the internal drive. When I fill them up, I'll move on to another internal/external drive arrangement. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
