    Anyone with an iPod, however, has a little bit more security. If you lose either your computer or your iPod, then provided you have your entire library on both devices

    True but not really an ideal solution. Unless you own the largest iPods your library could easily outstrip it. Also, iPods are waaay too fragile as a data backup.

    Mirrored SATA plus USB drive as backup is the ideal and *coughs* hardly geeky at all...

    So everyone is well sorted with mirrored disk, RAID configs or at the very least a USB backup drive right?

    With 20 Gbytes of legal music costing you $9k + labour you wouldn't want to be relying on one single nasty little Taiwanese platter to keep it alive for the rest of your music listening life...

    > More importantly - why did Russell want/need Moby for?!

    Well, he's just killing time until the next U2 concert, give the guy a break.

  • Hard News: Awesome,

    I'm not sure what message they're so grandly communicating though Russ. It's all just Nike adverts to me.

  • Hard News: Awesome,

    U2? Jeez Russ what's next, expounding on the technically brilliant guitar playing of Mark Knopfler? Rating which Pink Floyd albums sound best on your new SACD player?

    It's like punk rock never happened...

  • Hard News: Only rock 'n' roll,

    For god's sake Russ it's "Champion _in_ the Arena"!

    But you're right, it's a stone cold classic.

  • A question of sport,

    Nick Evans would be *ok* as his subsitute but the bugger keeps getting injured. God forbid we have to play Rangi there. Evans is obviously not of the same quality as Carter but he kicks well and is a strong runner. Most sides would be glad to have him when he's fit and on form.

    I think we're in the best position it's possible to be in at this stage. I think we have the all the quality, depth and experience that we need. It's all about mental toughness from here on in. Not just saying it but doing it as well.

  • What do you want them to play at your funeral?,

    Oh Yeah, Crass would be good too.

    "Don't believe in Jesus
    Don't believe in God
    I won't go to Heaven
    I don't give a sod!"

    That's beautiful man.
    *sniffs*

    It's gotta be Motorhead - 'Killed By Death'. Poignant, sensitive, smelly and noisy. Suits me perfectly.
