Amanda Takes Off...

My family's first computer (around...1992 or 1993?) had a 6 MB hard drive. My friends at the time (mostly guys) said this was impossible. Computers only came in 2, 4, 8, and 16 MB they said (32, too, maybe?). Our computer was 2 + 4 and that was enough at the time.

Now my laptop's hard drive is 51.2 GB (more than 52,000 MB). My handphone is 3 GB and m Nikon D80 memory card is 2 GB. My handphone is 500 of those computers and my memory card is more than 330 of them.

Saturday night, while I was working on my photos, my laptop was molasses slow. Turns out I had 94.7 MB of 51.2 GB free. Now, about a month ago Good Man helped me free up about 1/3rd of my hard drive so what was going on?

I looked at my photos. I shot Namhansan entirely in RAW format. The smallest photo was at least 6 MB. The largest was over 10 MB. This was the first time I'd shot in RAW alone. For the rest of September I'd been shooting RAW and superfine JPG!

And this is why my computer is about to explode...
