I have too many! But I backed up a few, and sent the originals to Iraq. One of our friends is over there and he said that, among other things, DVD's were in short supply. I didn't even know till then that they had DVD players! If someone here decides to do the same, DO NOT SEND COPIES , the FBI will get you for it. Or check out http://www.anysoldier.com/ for things they need.

@ Blessedon,

I have sent literally hundreds of backups to Iraq!!! Should I be looking out over my shoulder now? Anyway they have PX's over there and can get any DVD's you can get so don't let them fool you. They can even go right off base and get black market copies of DVD's that havent even bee released in the theaters over here yet. Belive me I know I was there and they only cost 5 bucks :-)

Cheers

bbmayo, I am using binders and am very interested in your system (I only have about 500 or dvds, originals and backups). For some reason your picture(s) did not show for me. Can you please email me a pic or post a link of what your solution looks like? Thanks

Hey bbmayo, thanks for the xtra info, I did not know that they could buy them black market there (definately a money saver...even though I don't agree with it), and I'm still glad I sent what little I did as my buddy has little cash to spare.
As far as the backups? I was going by the bottom of this page and that's why I never sent any copies;

By the way, thanks for your work for us in Iraq and here at A/D!!!

let me know if those dont work?

Blessedon,
Yeah black market isn't illegal over there so I figure what he hell when I am there, but your right I don't agree with it here at all. They really have no other means of getting the movies over there though so I guess thats how they do it. Thanks for your comments I was in Iraq in 1991, 2002, & 2004 I am out of the army now I retired in Jan.. How much longer is your friend there? Tell him we all wish him the best and to find the aircondioning whenever he can! :-)

LOL I suspect air conditioners are on the B.M. there too, huh? I never thought about it before but I guess I would be happy to do in Rome... if I were in that place. He went over with the N.G. and expected to be there a year...at least that's what he was told.

You got me there, bigguy. One of my greatest dreams is to tour in Amsterdam. What I do there...? Welllll, I wouldn't want to be rude and offend the locals by not partaking in the local customs and festive rituals.

I don't even know how many I have, I have 2 towers full plus like 8 spindles of CDs, plus more on my PC. I'm happy with what I have ;)

If everything in the world was taken away from me except one thing of my choice, I think that one thing would be music.

Hi nohelpme,

Yeah I miss all the good people a lot, but you still have the occasional person who just wants to fight about everything, but I have learned to just ignor tham and drive on. It all really feels good when you are helping someone and they come back and tell you thanks and really appreciated the help :-) That really makes it all worth it and I really do like helping people no matter what some may may believe. BY the way as I stated earlier that wasent really my idea I just stole it from a picture I had seen a little while back :-) hmmm maybe I should patent the idea LOL :-)

cheers

I've heard that the BurnMasters were genuine TY, but don't know if there are fake BurnMasters out there. I just bought about 300 TY discs from supermediastore.com for about $100, about the same deal.

I have a box of DVDs and CDs sitting next to my computer. I'm guessing there are roughly 600 DVDs in there and well over 1500 CDs. All of those are movies and TV series. I actually buy my music ;)

that's a nice idea with the DVD storage bbmayo, my brother does that with CD's. If i had the room for a standalone cupboard on the boat i'd do just that. it would make finding /putting back films a breeze. Ah well, maybe one day, for now i've got my binders.

Good to see some of you guys have done stuff like the Army etc, 'fraid all i can show for my youth is working since i was 17 or 18, so about 18 years in IT so far, but i sure wish i'd done something else with those years :)

@nohelpme - i have about 100GB of music videos, does that count :O



Main PC ~ Intel C2Q Q6600 (G0 Stepping)/Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3/2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500/Zalman CNPS9700/Antec 900/Corsair HX 620W
