My master library is on my desktop. Copies of files I've converted for reading are on my PDA and netbook. A copy of the entire ebooks directory tree got compressed into an archive, and backed up to an old, small IDE drive. The drive is too small to be really usable in the desktop, but it's fine as a backup drive for specific stuff like that, and sits on a shelf. Another drive like that holds a copy of my digital photos.

They're getting steadily cheaper and higher in capacity.
A friend has been doing some volunteer tech work for the U.S.S.Constitution, helping out with interactive displays. He was bemused when his boss bought a bunch of cheap USB thumb drives to be used in the displays. They were Hannah Montana branded drives. Not keeping current on pop culture, he had to Google to discover who Hannah Montana
was.
I gather they'd been gotten at close out prices because Hannah Montana's audience wasn't big users of USB drives, and they would be buried in the equipment where they wouldn't be seen in any case, but it was still amusing.
