Hi Arthur:

Cousin Google seems to have an answer. ;-)

Precisely my point, Jim. I'm a compulsive archiver and at long last, my
storage capacity has outrun my storage-ambitions. Hell, even excluding the
external USB 3.0 drives, I still have a TB on my laptop -- with more than
half of it free space! I have a 24" monitor attached and now my only desire
is to figure out how to attach another external monitor. Does anyone know,
is there a way to attach a second external monitor? With 8GB of RAM, I have
no problem running Ubuntu as well as Windows 8.1. An if that isn't enough,
the laptop runs utterly silently. Kewl.

The only other piece of hardware that I'm thinking of, which I saw recently
for about $130, is a USB turntable that enables you to play LPs and record
them to hard disk. I have a collection of about 6000 LP records and would
love to copy them to my newly acquired Blu-ray burner ($69), and then dump
them, except for a chosen few, one of which is Mary Margaret O'Hara's Miss
America, an album I love so much that I have one unopened copy; I deem this
record a Canadian masterpiece and will hold onto it forever, and never open
it. (I also have the equivalent CD, but there's something special in owning
an unopened vinyl version.)

Arthur
