And collisions are always there, it just a matter of degree of difference. Also, I know that the file transfer goes faster if you opt to go without write verification; I never take this option. I'm hoping that folks on this list who are more technical than either of us can amplify on what is the normal range of throughput in file transfers. -- Al Poulin -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
