arrange. Easy for your admirers to view.

-- smugmug bio --
smugmug has grown from its inception in November, 2002, to nearly
60,000 customers and 18 million photos. The company was started by
father and son team, Chris and Don MacAskill.
Chris MacAskill was a founder and the CEO of Fatbrain.com, one of the
Internet's first success stories. It grew from the family garage to a
$100 million public company before being purchased by Barnes & Noble.
He holds an M.S. from Stanford University. Don was the first
non-founding employee at Best Internet -- the earliest, most respected,
and most successful Internet Service Provider in Silicon Valley, which
was purchased by Verio. He designed the networks that hosted Hotmail,
eBay, and Fatbrain reliably.
== ReadyNAS 600 ==
How do you store your photos at home? We've covered numerous backup
strategies in recent months, including CD/DVD and multiple hard drives.
The ReadyNAS 600 is another solution to the problem, a 1 Terabyte RAID
Network Attached Storage (NAS) box from Infrant.
The ReadyNAS 600 comes with 4x250GB hard drives offering a total of 1TB
storage in RAID 0, 500GB in Raid 1, and 750GB in RAID 5.
