A hundred? You want me to ERASE 90% of the hard drive??...(c;

There's another issue on a boat, too. DVD/CD storage of FRAGILE disks
for the DVD player. If he gets a nice laptop and adds one of the
monsterous hard drives in a $39 USB external hard drive box, there are
NO
disks to store, scratch, curse over when they don't work.


DVDs are not fragile, less so than a HD. Keep them in a thick CD wallet
and you're all done. I used a laptop for a TV on a boat. It was a high
end dell. The angles for best viewing were pretty poor compared to my
smaller Sony. Also, for a few bucks my Sony gets a total replacement at
Circuit City. That warranty on the Dell was a lot more and I was
risking a 1600 dollar machine...not a good thing just to watch an
occasional movie. Because the Sony's screen swivels and folds flat
tablet style, it can also be mounted.
