Bruce A. Johnson
A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard. In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

Oooh, I Got Trouble. Drive Trouble.And You Might Too! I love a bargain. That’s one of the reasons I take emails from TigerDirect. Not everything Carl Fiorentino and his troops come up with is great, but often you can find real gems. And so I thought when I saw a Seagate Barracuda 1.5Tb hard drive on sale for $140. In the collapsing world of hard drive manufacturers, Seagate has always had a sterling reputation, one they defend with 5-year warranty. So I figured, what could go wrong? It seems that Seagate 1.5Tb drives running under Windows Vista and Mac OSX can slow down, freeze up or fail altogether. Apparently, all data is still preserved on the otherwise-bricked drive, but still: Is this the best we can expect? I mean, this is SEAGATE. The I haven’t yet installed that drive, and I won’t till it is cleared by Seagate. But still, it gives me chills. I guess we aren’t any less safe that we ever were, but how many projects do you have stored on hard drives? I have - literally - dozens. What do you trust for long-term storage?
