    Reliable 1TB or 1.5TB drives?

    I'm looking for input on which 1TB or 1.5TB drives have proven reliable. These drives will be used for backup and powered-on only occasionally. Reliability is more important than speed. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Monitor for photo editing

    Until tonight, I have been using an Iiyama Vision Master Pro 450 -- a 19" monitor with a Mitsubishi tube. The monitor died tonight. As backup, I have "borrowed" my wife's IBM P70. I need to give it back to her fast! Besides, at 17" it is a bit small. :-) What's the best choice for a monitor...
