Hi Guys ! Good Morning !(I live in Arg.)
Just wanted to know if there is any storage technology thatenables me to copy all what I have downloaded in one computer of a cartain cyber?.
Let's say I have download... ejem... 9 Gygas and I dont want to use their cd-rw because it's too expensive is there any way I can plug something to the pc so I get my hands in all that stuff ?.
The thing is that my mother has a friend that lives in USA and is coming to Arg to visit us, so it would be the perfect ocassion to ask her for something...
Imagine I have to pay $5 per cd; it would be like $5 dollars but then I wouldn't be considering devaluation so $5 pesos would be like $2 dollars....
Well Thankx And if you have time, please drop a line to:

| if the computer has usb, you can get usb harddrives, which come in any size, in the uk ive seen usb portatable harddrive cases for around £40 all you have to do is add an harddrive |

DVD Burner, discs can hold 4.7 GB of data
iOmega makes zip drives, jaz drives etc. and other removable media
Look into USB Hard Drives (Make sure you have a fast USB port though, pref USB 2.0) also Firewire Hard Drives
CDs are a pain but by far the cheapest |

im not sure how adept you are with computer hardware, or in fact what the host PC's hardware situation is but you could always buy a 10gb hard drive(im guessing thats how much you need) and pulg the thing into the PC as a slave drive and just copy+paste in windows...
MUCH faster than any of the other options here and cheaper too. BUT you have to have some basic knowledge of computer hardware; although it could be a good learning experience for you! :)
but you could also go with a DVD burner like someone else said but thats like $200USD i think |
