Court, not that this will help but I have found that I shoot a lot of stuff with small file sizes on my EOS. I will shoot RAW when I am thinking about publication or making a big print but most of my stuff is just snap shots and the 5x7 or even 8x10 from Walgreen's look great on the small setting.
Save tons of disc space and transfer time. |

That's what I am going to have to start doing. I've started setting to "basic JPEG" for just shooting photos around town and going NEF RAW when I am thinking "photography".
My problem is the roughly 80,000 old photos I've imported into iPhoto. I am trying to move them to a 1TB Western Digital drive I bought the other day and it's telling me "3,248 hours remaining". . . not sure I've got that long at my age.

Anytime after that today is fine.

You can build a bad ass computer from stuff at tiger direct for 300 bux.
I also vote for using ubuntu.com.
Has everything you need.
Web surfing
DVD/CD burning
Ipod compatibable music player that works better imo
Video editing
MS word compatible office suite. openoffice.org
Photo editing (photo shop clone). gimp.org
And many cool useful features windows doesn't have.
Email me and I can help you choose the parts.
