[nfbcs] nfbcs Digest, any experience with JAWES and open office

All,
While I think we'll just have to agree to disagree here, I strongly 
disagree with Nicole's assessment of the current state of storage in the 
PC industry.
She writes:
"

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.

Nicole"

My main desktop PC is currently running a 120GB SSD for OS/Programs, 2 256GB SSDs in RAID0 for heavily accessed files, a 2TB SATA HDD for Dropbox/media storage, and a 3TB USB 3.0 HDD plugged into my router for shared network storage/backup purposes.
I also keep 2 1TB portable drives handy for other important files/backups.

It's an ever evolving world in the PC industry and I applaud Graham's forward thinking strategy in planning his rig.

Graham, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may come up with.
