Phew. I dunno what to tell you -1, I know your situation is not unique, I have an old college budy who is a download addict and a packrat as well. He feels the need to collect and archive everything every created by mankind (hopefully you are not as bad as he is ;). Before the big file sharing boom, he actually purchased everything, and has a room in his house with retail DVDs stacked along the walls, filling boxes, and filling bookshelves. Same thing with audio CDs. Now he has spindle after spindle after spindle after spindle filled with all sorts of stuff. He is constantly pulling stuff off the web, and archiving it. Just about every single TV show I have ever heard of, he has backed up on DVDs within his vast collection of spindles (he has a whole argument chock full of fallacies about how it isn't illegal and that he is within his rights of fair use, whatever). I watch as this room in his house becomes more and more bloated with crap, so much stuff stacked on the floor you can barely move around in there. He too could benefit from a new revolutionary form of file storage, or a shrink! Seriously, it has got to be some sort of mental sickness. Countless hours of non-sense recorded on those discs, and countless hours spent worrying about downloads completely, running out of disc space, recording stuff on discs, ensuring all the data is verified, categorizing, printing out labels for the spindles, etc. So much work being put into this. Is he ever going to watch even a fraction of all that stuff? Even if he could, would he really want to waste so much of his life in front of a TV/computer screen to do so? After all, we only have so many hours on this earth. I think such a situation needs a little bit more help than a higher capacity means of storage.
