:rant Portable hard drives

[raised by monkeys]

Half the issue is that computers and syncing drives and folders and back ups, has gone against everything I think they were set out to achieve - be time and energy efficient. I don't want to spend my days backing up and setting up firewalls and syncs.

I mean, 5 computers... I just want to get on my laptop, type something up, look up AFF, use ebay etc etc. I don't want to revolve the idea of using a computer and purchasing safety software, worry about things breaking down. For equipment we rely so much on, we spend more time maintaining and protecting ourselves than the time it would take to hand write my assignments.
