Me too, but then you run into bandwidth problems and the number of people uploading/downloading/viewing from that one hard drive through that one connection to that one server. Might bog the system down.

Like you said though...that stuff is cheap and for the companies like photobucket, shutterfly, etc that probably has a room full of servers and bandwidth out the wazoo it shouldn't cost a person hundreds of dollars a year to keep their pics there and use that to post to forums and such.

And speaking of speed, you can now get solid state hard drives just like an ipod or what you have on your phone that have no moving parts and are so much faster than hard drives. Memory is cheap now a days. I do remember paying nearly 200 dollars for 4mb of ram in the 90's to boost my pentium 133mmx to 8, count them 8 whole megs or ram! I was blazing! lol
