I've got Doctor Who WiP #2 done, except that this morning at one a.m. Debugmode Wax decided it hated minute 1:05 of my audio file, and it keeps hating it no matter what I do. I've reexported the .wav from the Audacity project. I've opened up the original mp3 and reedited it and reexported it. All of the files, so far, are having the same problem. All of them were working properly until this point. Very puzzling. ETA: Resolved, apparently through the power of prayer and restarting a lot. Technology, when will you cease to baffle me?

This is not the first indication that I may be headed for some Computer Troubles, and while I'm going to try to keep fixing this laptop as long as possible, it's going to suck when the harddrive goes and takes all my files with it. I'm thinking I need to look into external storage, and soon.

Does anyone have thoughts on external harddrives, good brands, reasonable prices, etc?

How long have you been using them? Are they pretty sturdy?

I've been using this brand pretty much since I started vidding, so a year. And I've traveled with them, taken them on planes, etc, and so far, no problems.
