Q: I have an iMac(image placeholder) that I use as kind of a media hub for my photos and music and video. A lot of the files are the only copies I have, so I’m really concerned about backup. What do you suggest?A: I suggest the biggest, most expensive hard drive from the fine folks at LaCie(image placeholder) that you can possibly afford by taking out a second mortgage on your home. LaCie: manufacturers of quality backup storage drives.Q: Oh. Wow. That seems… like overkill. I mean… I have a G3 iMac with a CD burner an about a hundred iPhoto pictures and maybe 500 songs and… well… really no video at all yet. I just… is that really necessary?A: Uh… no. No. I guess not.

No! That’s… absurd.Q: I have moles in my underwear drawer.A: LaCie(image placeholder) makes a fabulous mole trap that fits right in your unmentionables drawer!Q: What?! No they don’t!A: Well… no. But they could. They’re very smart.Q: Oh, stop it.

Q: Oh, jeez, you know what, I was going to ask a question, but I’m kinda tired and since I know you’re just going to turn it into an excuse to link to… them… just go ahead and do it.A: No! No!
