[ddots-l] Re: Numeric keypad woes

I don't know how big you want your harddrive but I have mine partitioned,
and I put all my audio files on the one not running windows. I have 40
gigabites of space for that. I can quite happily be working on ten projects
with 40 gigabites. ten is probably an understatement. If only laptop
batteries were so much better, so I could mix on the bus. That would be fun.
O and you could always get an external hardrive to back things up. I imagine
a desktop computer may be better if you're working with clients.
