I'm thinking in the 160 - 200 GB range. If you are good with a screwdriver and you are willing to put together your own external hard drive (which is so easy that I've known 80-year old grandmothers to do it), you can have a premium one for about $70 to $80. If you are interested, let me know and I'll recommend a case kit and a drive to put in it. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
