Now on to another question. Earlier I asked about a firewire drive for an iMac.
I still
didn't get one. But when I came back from vacation today my hard drive in the
iMac had
finally died. Now I'm wondering if I should/could get an external firewire
drive and
have it run the OS on the iMac, or just buy a new iMac. Any thoughts?
Save the drive. Get a FW/USB case. AND buy a new iMac.
I highly recommend the 24" iMac that we call the "drive-in theater" model. Both 20" and
24" are at the Apple store blue tag sale today. The $899 20" model is gone, but $999 is
still there; you can get the 24" 2.8GHz for $1199, and it's worth it! Acomdata has a nice
FW/USB enclosure that takes PATA/SATA drives [at newegg.com].
While you can boot and Intel Mac from a USB drive [including flash/thumb drives] the
FireWire works more smoothly and is faster.
