Long term storage: I just read IBM say burn'd CD's will last 2 years 5
if in a cold dry, light free space.

It's now cheap enough to back up your CD's and keepers to a hard drive
and store in a closet.

Of course run WhereIsIt on the drive first then just catalog the HD's

You cannot limit a folder to 700MB, except you make (a lot of) partitions
that size. With windows, you will run out of drive letters quite soon

Now where to put that big VOB file or the linux dvd image downloading via
bittorrent?

There is no "one fits all" solution.
