    Storage Almost Full - Need 256GB

    Is anyone else getting this message a lot lately? I've got the 128GB phone but these days its just not enough. I really hope we see a 256GB or hell, even a 512GB option when the iPhone 7 is announced. I know the 256GB is rumoured.

    Lightroom photo storage: internal vs. external

    In the past I have stored my Lightroom photos on an external FW800 drive. This was necessary due to limited internal drive space on my older iMac. Well, that iMac died and I got a new one with a 2TB Fusion drive (split into 2 1TB partitions). So I now have the space on my internal drive. My...
