My husband’s PC is making "a noise" and so we want to make sure our files have back-up for just pictures of the Grandchildren, documents, stuff like that. I have some CDs with the photos backed up, but don’t know if that is the easiest way to do it. Being a normal, red blooded American male, he went out and purchased a top of the line back-up drive (0.00!) This drive will store over 500 GB. He has less than 25 GB on his whole computer! Can someone suggest a more economic option for people on a fixed income who have no need to back up, oh, I don’t know, the entire west coast’s PCs?!! I have a laptop also and we can share files. Perhaps one computer can back up the other? As far as the noise on his computer, we will have to get the "clunk" noise investigated I suppose. But first, back-up!
I would appreciate any help you can suggest. (I will figure out a way to diplomatically tell him myself!) Thanks so much!
Thanks for the answers so far, but I also wanted to ask if anyone has used or recommends a service for backing up the home computer? I heard that it could be a simple thing to do but am not sure where to start? Thanks again.

My ex told me he’s getting married after 7 years of our on and off again relationship. I came to the conclusion that he never loved me. 2 years ago he gave me 0 to help me out with my rent. Now, that he is getting married I guess he wants it back. He has been calling me and texting me, not asking for the money but wanting to know how I’m doing. He never once asked for it or left it on the voicemail. (No, I’m not answering the phone or calling him back bc we have already said goodbye and I’m tried of drawing this thing out.) I didn’t know he wanted the money until I went on a trip to the west coast and he sent his friend that lives there that knows my friend I was with to tell me that he wants me to give it to him. He sent a message through someone while I was on vacation. He always knows how to ruin my time. (had always in the past) I am unemployed and can’t afford to pay him back. He is not a broke man and does not need the money. I honestly think he is trying to just get me to call him and if I just send the money it will still not be the end. What should I do? I don’t want it to go towards his wedding expenses. He should let me just have it. He has broken my heart 1000 times in 7 years. What do you think is the best thing to do??? I was gonna write him an email telling him how I feel and ask him if I can keep it. Please ask for more info if you need it in order to offer your advice.

Two high school sweethearts who went out together for four years in high school were both virgins; they enjoyed losing their virginity with each other in 10th grade. When they graduated, they wanted to both go to the same college but the girl was accepted to a college on the east coast, and the guy went to the west coast.
They agreed to be faithful to each other and spend anytime they could together. As time went on, the guy would call the girl and she would never be home, and when he wrote, she would take weeks to return the letters. Even when he emailed her, she took days to return his messages. Finally, she confessed to him she wanted to date around. He didn’t take this very well and increased his calls, letters, and emails trying to win back her love.
Because she became annoyed, and now had a new boyfriend, she wanted to get him off her back. So, what she did is this: she took a Polaroid picture of her sucking her new boyfriend’s unmentionables and sent it to her old boyfriend with a note reading, "I found a new boyfriend, leave me alone."
Well, needless to say, this guy was heartbroken but, even more so, was pissed. So, this is what he did next: He wrote on the back of the photo the following, "Dear Mom and Dad, having a great time at college, please send more money!" and mailed the picture to her parents.
