In that case you/they would be better off investing in a CD-RW drive, probably a FireWire one, to backup sensitive information. If you have anything to do with Audio, Video or large scale media work, or even large scale documents/drawings, 36GB ain't a lot to play on and so having 2 copies of everything lying around collecting notional dust won't help any. I bet you could backup the System folder for OS 8.6 and OS 9.2.2 onto a CD, your critical work onto a couple more and then keep the CDs in a safe storage place in jewel cases. That way if your hard disk 'goes south' then you have copies of everything to restore. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
