For years I've downloaded TV shows and movies to watch at our leisure and it's been suggested that it's become an obsession. As if! The fact that I download much more than we could watch in two lifetimes is irrelevant and, as I've been heard to say, everybody needs a hobby. I store the stuff on two hard drives which I've had for years and like all animate and inanimate objects, they're showing signs of wear.
I wondered whether it was time to splash out and purchase a couple of solid-state drives but, even if I went to Temu, I'd resent the outlay. Jamie is not a fan of Temu and would try to talk me out of it. His suggestion is to store all my downloads on the hard drive of the computer and, when we want to watch something, transfer it to a decent USB stick and go from there. Why didn't I think of that? There's plenty of room on the hard drive and all my precious programs would be available when needed.
It will take organisation: setting-up and transferring files, so I had better make a start. A trip to Officeworks to get some better-than-average USB sticks is on the cards sooner rather than later.
