Hard Drives are incredibly cheap compared to when you bought yours. I just went through the recycle pile and found an ad for 6.4 gig drives for $280. Tuesday I ordered a Gateway to back up my Mac and upgrading from a 4 gig to an 8 was maybe $200. The reason why I get all this stuff is because the cost of hardware is insignificant compared to the money involved. I bought the Gateway primarily to crunch parabolic and volatility stops. If, just once, it pops out a usable stop that I would not thought of on my own and saves me $2000 then it paid for itself. So having good hardware is a minor cost of doing business, so to speak.
