Last thing. Don't know if you are familiar with Itunes but it defaults to copy all of your songs into the Itunes folder. I don't trust them enough so I keep my tunes separate and import the folder, but I did not un-enable this option and ended up with 2 copies of all my songs, a big GB mistake. Change the option in Itunes before you copy your songs. The second thing along this line is photos. Iphoto is pretty good but it saves your photos in a weird folder so you can't find an individual photo outside of Iphoto. I put all my photos in a folder and import them from there. This probably doubles the space as well but I am okay with that. Also, you can't multi-disk copy the Iphoto library. I like doing dvd backups but could not in iphoto. That is why I bought Toast in the first place. I just have to drag my photo folder into toast and it tells my how many dvds to have ready and away it goes. boom.
