If not because of blogging, I won’t get to know that there’s a certain thing as tape drive. Somewhat techie idiot, you know.LOL. Anyway, I’m glad that I am learning new things. For sure I won’t be able to learn this in the office. Since I am not familiar with tape drives, I checked on wikipedia for its meaning and purpose. As I understand it, it is a data storage device that reads and writes data being stored on a magnetic tape. Basically, it is used for archival storage of data on hard drives. Quite interesting. This maybe a good alternative from getting an external hard drive. Will just check its availability here and its advantages and disadvantages compared to HDD. But of course if the price is right, I will go for tape drive.

What kept Ace busy over the weekend was transferring our photos to drive E for the meantime while we haven’t got an external hard drive yet. He requested me to do it weeks back because system memory of drive C is almost full which makes the computer lag but I wasn’t able to do it. I’m just done deleting the not so good photos that gave us 4gb of free space. But as I upload another batch of photos, it was down to less than 1gb and Ace was compelled to do it because I have no time doing it.
