Okay thankyou to both of you :) and I will probably prefer a more portable device as i do not need a particularly large hard drive, just something to back up my files. I have had a search on amazon and there seems to be many which are suitable size. Thank you again.

ok...
after a long break, i'm starting to get back up to speed. will be adding another new OctoMacPro and a Core2Duo iMac this week...

Well if you can run the SMP on them 24/7 you will be pulling in about 3500 points per day, not a bad come back!

On the topic of photo storage and editing, I ran across this blog post in an app on my iPad called Photoverse. It details how to use star ratings to thin out a shoot without dumping any photos.

Thanks for sharing this app Dale! I have a lot of research to do! :)
ok 100Teraflops I use a Mac Pro daily for Music and Photography, The Mac Pro is a good beastie but alone it cant do the job, it must be paired up to a good Monitor, IPS panel if possible, I did use apple's but found the Dell's re-produced colour better. When you purchase your DSLR will you shoot RAW or Jpeg, think about it, RAW may be bigger files, but you can keep producing a good quality image from just 1 RAW file, On the subject of a scratch disk try and dedicate a complete disk as scratch.
my MP is set up as follows,
bay 1 :500gb for OS & apps
bay 2 :320gb as Scratch Disk
bays 3 & 4 : both have 1tb hdd's in a raid 1 configuration for music and stuff
All my RAW files & Aperture library are on a WD my book studio 4TB edition in a raid 1 via fw800 giving me 2TB to use, The system is simple and it works well. the big hdd's are all green WD drives. Hdd's are cheap now, but get the biggest you can afford (don't buy at the apple store), I find using Raid 1 I spend less time now backing up. The hardest part of photography is deleting images, you may take 100 shots and find only 2 of them are keepers, but getting rid of blurry, out of focus files will free up a lot of space,
you have had some excellent advice on here so far, and it will be nice to hear how you finally set up your workflow, keep us posted :)
Thanks for recommending the specs of a quality monitor. Your Mac Pro HDD configuration is simple and easy to understand. Are you using striping from OS X or did you set you RAID 1 with only two drives? I agree that it is very hard deleting photos, as I do not delete photos after I take them. I wait a few days or longer, and then decide if they are keepers. However, I take photos of my family etc and occasionally automobiles and landscape. Also, you are right that I have received excellent advice from the forum members. You folks rule! :)
I will keep you all posted. I am thinking that I should buy a Mac Pro soon! From what I have read on this forum, a new Mac Pro is not expected until 4Q 2011 or 2012. :eek: I do not want to wait that long for a stupid processor chipset. :D A few months is optimal, but 6-8 is not feasible. Thanks again for sharing knowledge and swapping ideas!

I don't know anything about ATA passwords, but one of the expected new features of Lion is whole disk encryption. You might as well wait for that and get it free with the OS and supported by Apple.
I'm aware, but that is months away, and who knows how long it will take for this Filevault re-write to be stable. Since I'm operating as a consultant, I can't necessarily wait for that.
So... no one knows if this is possible?

If your interest in recording music into your iMac computer, I would suggest purchasing some kind of audio device in addition to a microphone. Although its my understanding that the iMACs have limited ports (FireWire, USB ports, etc), there are work-arounds to this problem. However, purchasing an audio device like a MOTU 828 MK3 (and there are MANY companies that make fine audio devices) will enable you more choice in microphones. There are even MORE non-USB microphones that will help create great sounding vocal recordings. (Heck! Even a Shure SM 58 will create fine vocal recordings.)
Although, it seems that there are more and more USB microphones coming out on the market. (Admittedly, I'm not familiar with them.) I've recently read that there are USB-based attachments that can placed on a regular microphone which will provide direct connection into the computer. Shure makes a X2u audio device which provides connection of a regular XLR microphone into the USB port. Again, such a device will provide more choice in microphones.

One way to avoid this (The cause still being unknown, though) is to uncheck the box in iTunes that says "Sync Music Automatically", then just drag the playlists you want up to your iPhone in the sidebar.

For playing video on my PS3 I just have an external HD that I keep formatted in FAT format so the PS3 can read it. You can just plug it into your computer, load it up then plug it into your PS3 and play files directly off of it. It's easier than any other solution I've seen and is cheaper and simpler to manage.

Hmm, I dunno. If it makes you feel any better though I just ordered 2 Ipod Nanos for both myself and my Mrs. So even if there IS a refresh, and you go ahead and buy one now, so what ey? The Ipods that we have today are incredible and they hold an incredibly large amount of songs, so you can just wait and see what happens or pick one up now and still guaranteed to not feel disappointed.
Oh and happy birthday : )

As long as taxes are paid then it is the earner's money. There may be a moral pressure on extremely rich people to donate to charity etc but there shouldn't be a legal one.
I think Bill Gates does great things with his wealth. His charitable work has been above and beyond what could be expected of him. I admire him for that!

Here's something I find odd. When you click the Post Reply button at the bottom of a thread display and type the text of a new post, you have buttons labeled Submit Reply and Preview Post. If you click Preview Post, you see the preview, followed by a Submit Message button, then the text box, then the same Submit Reply and Preview Post buttons. The Submit Message and Submit Reply buttons do the same thing.
So we have three nouns for the same thing: Reply, Post, and Message!
I think the nouns should be the same, i.e., instead of
Submit Message and Submit Reply and Preview Post
the three buttons should be
Submit Reply and Submit Reply and Preview Reply
OR
Submit Post and Submit Post and Preview Post
OR
Submit Message and Submit Message and Preview Message
Of these three choices, I prefer
Submit Reply and Submit Reply and Preview Reply
because you clicked Post Reply to start the process.

Bravo guys. Capitalism can be energizing but it only works if the majority of citizens bother to vote in leadership that looks out for all citizens, not favor a handful of the most well off citizens. It's our fault we keep electing bozos to Washington.

I could be wrong but I believe at this moment the PS3's Blu-ray drive doesn't upscale DVD's to hi-def. The Sony and the Samsung Blu-ray players upscale DVD's and I was wondering if this would be possible with firmware updates. If it was possible it would really solidify my PS3 as the center of my AV equipment. Although, upscaling DVD's may have something to do with a hardware component rather than a firmware problem. Sorry if this was an obvious answer i was just curious.

Hi,
for all the guys "needing, wanting, must have" the SSDs, read this:
[http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale.html]
I'm using a SSD (256GB) since over a year (almost two now) in my MacBook and one in another machine since almost a year and they didn't fail yet :-) .... and a good backup is always a must, no matter if you have SSD or HD. I had plenty of HD fail on me - backup is a must no matter what. And as always: do some research about the brand and if possible the model you buy, that will reduce the risk of failing a lot (true for SSD and HD).

No one needs that much money. Assuming his wealth is around 40 billion, that's more than anyone could ever spend or needs. I say tax it all, and leave him with a few hundred million. That's still an insane amount of money. That way, he'd be paying his fair share of taxes, and would still have more money than he needs.
