TBT Steven, if you are going to play with movies, a 56Gig drive is a whole 
bunch too small.  One decent full length movie can fill that.  I shot a 22 
minute wedding a couple of years ago with a Sony TRV-460, a 720x480 color 
movie camera with a digital Hi-8 tape drive in it.  That wedding was about 
3.3Gbytes captured from the camera over firewire by Kino.  Once run through 
all the encoding to make a video cd out of it, it was still about 370 
megabytes, filling the cd about half full.

You are showing 85 megabytes free, and the cache of your web browser could use 
that up yet today.

As I've asked 2x before Steven, contact me off list.
