The iPod is a fine external Firewire drive, if you have enough space on it. I have mine set up with a bootable Mac OS X install so that I can use it to get a machine running, if the operating system on that machine goes down. I also use it to carry big files between my home and my office. I do not use the iPod for backups because backups are saved on my Linux machine. By the way, when they were making The Lord of the Rings movies, they used iPods to move the work around between New Zealand, where the special effects were crunched, and London, where Peter Jackson, the director, spent a lot of time. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
