[nfbcs] any experience with JAWES and open office

[Nicole Torcolini]

No offense, but why the devil would anyone need four tb of memory? The only
hard drive that I have that is even one tb is an external hard drive that I
use for back up only because I have more than one computer. I do not know
many people who have that much stuff, even including media. And, if you do
have that much media, keep it on an external hard drive, for Pete sake, for
multiple reasons, including losing it if something happens to your computer
and being able to plug it into other devices.

One recommendation for that new computer; at least a 4tb hard drive, along
with an additional drive sled.  The drive sled can be used to store data and
remove the data from the computer until needed again.  If you could find a
version of windows that could be installed on a drive in a drive sled, I'd
recommend two drive sleds with one holding the operating syste3m disk.  That
so when windows gets a virus you can't clear and the technicians at the shop
can't clear either you or they can send the hard disk in for ferensics
investigation and get it cleared while you use another disk in that first
drive sled.  Those 1tb drives were nice three years ago but are now small.
