Thanks - I did pull the card, and I also deleted all the usb driver files because I'm a bit paranoid at this point! :) 1) What are extensions, anyway? I started out with PCs, and extensions with them are the 3 letters that come after the period in a file name, that identify what program should be used with the file. Is that similar in Macs? 2) If I could use this USB 2.0 card somehow, that would be great - I already have it, I can't return it, and even if I don't need it for the Epson stylus photo 820 printer that we have, and the Fujifilm Finepix 2650 digital camera that we're borrowing, I may need it someday. But, if I have to get a 1.1 card, and I can still use that for the printer and camera, I will. 3) The scare - of thinking the computer died on us - reminded me of a project I'd started a while ago and then gave up on because I was getting confused. We have a couple extra hard drives (small by today's standards, but plenty big enough for us for now), and I'd like to put one into the computer. That way, we can partition off the OS, software, pics, other files, and can defrag with the Norton Utility disk we have. I tried to put it in once, and can't remember now what the obstacle was. Well, I can't remember if there was *only* one! They're SCSI drives, IIRC, and I had instructions on what to do because the ends of the "chain" had to be grounded correctly (I'm sure this isn't correct terminology!). Couldn't figure out how to do that, even with instructions, and couldn't figure out how to give it a certain ID # - if this doesn't make sense, it's because I'm wording it badly. Any suggestions?
