Boy does it ever fill up fast. Added a 2TB at Xmas and we're already at
240gb free. Of course so much space makes one keep thinking they can put
things off, so we've got about 400gb of Dr. Oz the missus needs to check
out for me to edit down to needed segments or delete altogether.

Of course I can always put a new 2TB (or 4TB) on the wishlist for next
Xmas. But maybe I want an HDHR4....Santa!
