[CT] Firefly

[Dan Moran]

I used to use RAID (Promise IDE), but decided against it after a couple
years. Seemed easier (and has been, mostly) to back up to hard drives
using removable hard drives. Speed not that big an issue, and the
flexibility to throw a new hd in and back up to it has been nice.

I *love* it.  The first episode was weak, but it still have *far* better

character chemistry than any SF show I've seen except Farscape.  
Besides, really liked the ending of the first episode, in almost any 
other actionish show on TV the hulking bad guy would become 
their nemesis and not have gotten kicked into the engine.  Since 
then, the plots have gotten better and last week was awesome.  
The characters actually *did* all the stuff I was thinking of, rather 
than behaving like nitwits when an emergency comes up, like 
characters in most SF shows.
