Your Hard Drive, Everywhere

It's a classic conundrum—all your fun stuff (MP3s, Minesweeper, your award-winning collection of Jessica Alba photos) is at home, and you rarely are.

Anyway, the photographic proof is probably on this site, devoted to a now-mythical time before digital cameras and Flickr.
