My 4.5 year old HP desktop computer has all but bought the farm. It's slow, kicks me in the nethers anytime I ask it to do something other than just sit there and make noise, tells me my copy of Windows isn't genuine and, quite critically, its 750GB hard drive is about 90% full - about 70% of which is made up of images and videos.
I'm pretty sure that a new computer of some sort is in order, but finances are a bit tight right now. Just wondering what others here do for storage of their precious images and videos when things get a bit tight and squidgy. I've copied about 99% of my images and videos to an external terabyte hard drive with the idea that I would then delete them from my computer's HD, freeing up over 500GB of space, but I'm feeling very anxious about doing that.
I also know, as a 900lb gorilla in the room, that I need to cull quite a number of my images, but working full time as well helping raise a 13 year old, 4 year old, and 11 month old zaps away nearly all of the time to do it.
All ideas are appreciated!
