Over spring break I got that wonderful little popup window on my laptop saying "Low Disk Space". I had all of 1.3 gigs left of the 60 gig hard drive. So, I decided to transfer some files to my linux machine. Unfortunately that didn't work so well. I had an entire 4 gigs (amazing, I know) left out of 80 on that machine. Not good..

Luckily, this gave me an excuse to buy a new hard drive, which I have been wanting to do since my Maxtor died a couple of months ago. I don't recommend buying Maxtor hard drives. My computer now has an extra 250 gigs of storage space wonderfulness, and I am very happy.

I also thank TigerDirect for offering a nice Western Digital drive for only $45.
