Print orders have been coming in fairly regularly, (more for this time period than any previous year) many from repeat customers - but when I go over my books - I'm still just keeping my fiscal nose above water. I'm going to raise the prices about 20% this weekend.
Of course I'm living a bit better these days - not cooking my own beans and rice staple anymore. In fact not cooking at all. Food is from the great Mexican bodega on the corner. And I did buy a lot of supplies going into digital land which I'm still paying off.
And speaking of money - I just ordered another Maxtor II (250 GB). The one I have is now working flawlessly thanks to the firewire connection. I've been shuffling large amounts of data to it this morning and she's working fine.
Craig had asked a while back what the speed of the old Maxtor II 120 GB was. I don't know. I usually get my stuff from CDW - and they don't list the speed. They do list the speed for the 250 GB as 7200.

I was told that the problems with the USB external drives can be caused by either the write speed of the disk of cache size. Obviously, the firewall connection eliminated the problem. I am using my Maxtor 40 gig (about 3 years old) for everything but photos. I am using the internal 160 seagate installed in an external case for photos. I intend to get a Seagate external 160 as a second backup for the phtoos.
Glad to hear that business is good.
As you know for me photography is just a hobby but I am getting requests for my photos from family members, clients, etc. I may get the Epson 2400 to give me better B&W quality and start selling unmounted prints. I really don't have the space or time to do the mounting by hand.
