Your iMac comes with an internal hard drive, but if you run out of
space you can get another hard drive and connect it to your Mac using
either the USB ports or the FireWire ports.
There had been various reports from time to time of folks having
problems with their external hard drives using FireWire connections
after a 10.3.n o. s. update (usually the hard drive manufacturer had
not been very serious about letting folks know about firmware updates
and so after an update from Apple, there were some problems). These
usually happened with the odd numbered updates and were fixed in the
even numbered updates (and by updating the hard drive's firmware).

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure if
I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
