Well, thanks for getting back to me, I'm gonna try the external hard drive thing and I'll let you know how it works out, Santa won't bring me and iPod (he's still sore about the Ex-Lax cookie thing) and I'll just keep backing up. If anyone has some creative and cheap (I cannot stress the cheap thing enough!), I'd love to hear it! Thanks, LOTR, you are the wind beneath my wings!!!!!
