@Jen, you can pick up an external hard drive to back up your computer to. My DH & I each have one and mine is set to once a day backup – during the night when it won’t slow down what I’m doing, although it can be set to back up more frequently. Size: about 1.5″x4″x8″ so not very big.

When my computer crashed & died permanently (it was very sad) everything was on my external hard drive and was loaded onto the new computer and it was like nothing had changed, my email outbox still had the emails I had sent before it happened, my desktop picture, all my files, everything was there.

And if you ever needed to evacuate your place quickly they unplug in a second and you can grab & go and still have all your information with you.

Apple TV sounds GREAT! :-) Super ideas for accumulating LESS! Which sounds really good right now since I have a ton of boxes all around me from moving. :-)

I like the scanning idea, but I’m afraid my old computer would crash (again) and it would all be lost. Ditto the music. My husband downloads tons of music, but also has soooooo many CDs. I want to get rid of them, but he is attached to them. I like your ideas and you are lucky that both you and Martin agree on them.

I’m with you–we don’t buy CDs either except on itunes and the apple tv is fabulous.

Hi Katie- Thanks for stopping by today! Love your ideas on saving space. You have really pulled out all the stops figuring out how to live small! Kudos to you, girl. Have a great weekend.

I still have to do reading using books. Audio books do not work for the deaf and hearing impaired. I guess E-books would be an alternate. I have never tried it though so I don’t know what it is like. I think it would tire my eyes out more than a regular book. Same goes for listening to music. Can’t use the headphones to listen to music. So I am out of luck on that part too. When we watch videos, movies etc. I have to make sure they are closed captioned or I have no idea what is going on there. Many of the conviences for the hearing world does no good for the deaf world.
