So, at my request, Brad ordered me a lovely new portable hard-drive. Powered via the USB port so I don't have to plug it into the voltage it works like a dream. 250gb of room for me to move about, decorate and fill up as I see fit.

Last week I put out 40gb of music on it and today I decided to stop using Aperture (which is great but very technical) and go back to iPhoto. I also decided to put all our pictures onto the shiny new hard-drive. Well that job didn't take very log. A click here, a drag there and whoosh my hard-drive had all the pictures. All I had to do was import them into iPhoto.

I'm still waiting.

It's been going a while.

8000+ images.

I may be here a little longer.
