Kazza - breathing life back to the hardware market
 

Is it just me or have other people had to buy 80 gig hard drives due to file sharing software? I am jus tabout to go to bed and have left Kazaa downloading about 20 plus mp3's. The hardware market has apparently been fucked for the last few years. Most people I know who have Kazaa seem even on a dial up to be able to fill a 10 gig hard drive in no time at all. Anyone else investing in 80 gig to get the storage needed for either mps's or porno flicks?

no.

In the last 2 months, a friend of mine has bought a 60 gig, and an 80 gig hard drive.. The 80 is approaching capacity.. If he didn't have kazaa, you can bet your ass he wouldn't have those hard drives. So yes, most likely helping the hdd market some.

Yes

Yes

My roommate just bought an 80 gig drive but not for Kazaa... for his fuckin X-Box!!! You can upload movies, download full versions of games you just upload to your X-Box's hard drive. So the fucker is playing NES emulators on his High-tech machine :1orglaugh

my computer store sells so many cdrw & blank media its crazy. all for mp3 whores. :)

being an mp3 whore is good...unless you have a thing for Sheena Easton which I have been having....dam that is so sad...dont tell anyone please:helpme

120 gig drives here bro....

If I had DSL I would fill that puppy no problems...I have loads downloading as we speak...the thing that fucks me is that I grab say a few rare blues tracks from someone then check out all there shared files..If I do not know the act or tune I take it as my view is that if they like something that I like then probably I wll like the stuff I have not heard of as well...

it might be helping the hard drive market, but hurting other industries at the same time.

I have a number of HD's but the easier solution was to simply get a CD burner.. no need for huge drives then.

:2 cents:

157GB here.

CD's are nowhere near as convenient. I don't even use my stereo anymore. I rip my cd's to mp3. I basically use this bitch as my stereo now. Hook it up with a decent sound system, and it kicks ass.

same here... got the system hooked into muh main rack pumpin' through the Bose... :thumbsup

all about the klipsch ba-bee. twin 8" subs, 5 30 watt satalites and a 400 watt preamp.

helping the tech support business too

we just got a DVD burner at the office... I might have to borrow that bad boy :)

It's all about stealing a 120gig & 80gig HDD from your last place of employment :thefinger

I got an 80 Gig firewire external drive for a lot of reasons. I have TONS of content (which I produce). I have several computers and the HD makes sharing files and backing up the machines easier. I can take all this stuff with me when I travel so I can pretty much be in business no matter where I am. A 120 Gig drive is probably in the cards, this 80 Gigger is so great.

I don't download MP3's. I can afford to buy CD's and burn rip them as MP3's onto CD's. They get ripped onto the HD first, but they don't stay there long.

I must be a pussy. I only have a 30gb hard drive with 5gb free.

I question your sexuality. :(

Go get Sim City 4, that game alone could drive the hardware market... Christ, never seen a game get 2 FPS on a 2GHZ P4 with a GeForce 4 :)

im with you on that one, somthing is definately not right here

I almost quit using CD's entirely at home until I bought a 301 disc CD changer. You can link a bunch of them together too if you have more than 301 CDs.

I'm too dam lazy to get up and change CD's manually, so now I can just keep every one I own in the player at all times and use the remote.

Kazaa is there reason my machine has four striped 120gb drives. I love IDE RAID.

Got a new 100Gig on the way, but it's not for Kazaa...

... It's from buying too much content! (If there were such a thing)! :D

Damn, I can't handle all these damn CD's. I need quick acess to content and I need it orginized too.

(Amazing how many content producers just throw everything into one directory on a CD)
