This is comletely off-topic, but I thought I'd ask it here as I know
there are some Mac users here, and this is the most helpful forum I
know.

My daughter will shortly be going to university to study photography
and has been advised to buy a Macbook. I know next to nothing about
Macs. For backup, it looks like Time Machine is the simple option, and
I have a couple of questions:

1. Can *any* external USB hard disk be used, or is there some subtle
requirement that limits the choices? (I realise that it'll probably
need reformatting first).

2. I presume that if the external drive happens not be attached when
the next incremental is due, that's not a problem and Time Machine will
just catch up next time the external drive can be seen. Is that correct?
