The Two Webs

My notebook computer is my access to the World Wide Web, but it is increasingly the root of another type of web - one composed of 17 wires and cords connecting the various gadgets on my desk. I just got a new external hard drive today. I'm not sure if its working as fast as it should, but I'm certainly thankful to have it. My 20 GB internal drive was down to less than 200 MB, and that includes very little fat. I think this should hold me for a good long while though, so long as no one buys me a video camera, God forbid.
