It's the longest thread on the TMF in terms of replies, I believe. And it's wonderful to see you here, karategirl18. 😀 😛

Yes it is the longest running thread as well. It started on Dec 26th, 2002. 😀 😀 😛

I agree. 😀 😀 😛 😛

I hope your computer problems get fixed, Kurch. 😀 😛

Me too. Will be awhile before they get around to it though. 🙁

😀 😀 😛

Sorry to hear it won't be soon. 🙁

I more worried the tech doesn not mess up my system or art files. 🙁

😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I sure hope not. 🙁

I have stuff backed up but even still I rather not depend on backups. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Exactly, no back-up is sure to work when needed. 😱

Yea I agree. Even though I make several usually. 🙁

😀 😀 😛

When the thing I'm backing up is a manuscript (as opposed to a software package) I just email it to myself so it's on Hotmail's servers. 😀 😛

Thats a good idea.

Now that they give you free storage measured in gigabytes, even the manuscript of one of my novels at 300K or so is tiny. 😀 😛

True. Unfortunately that wont work for my art files. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, art files are huge. 😱
😀 😛

Well the order is approximately:

Movies > Sound > pics > text

That can vary though depending on each individual file.

😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I knew that text was the smallest and that even the text of a book takes up much less space than one big, high resolution photo. 😀 😛

Video clips tend to be the largest though they run the gambit from small animated gifs to large high definition video. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

And clips vary in length from less than a minute to full length feature films. 😀 😛
