Hi Tim,

We already have home-sharing turned on.  We were thinking that it would be cool 
to store our movies on a drive that connects wirelessly to my MBA.  but I 
suppose if we have to use a standard portable drive, that isn't the end of the 
world.  But it does raise another question or two.  Can I set up iTunes so that 
only the movies in my library are stored on a portable drive?  And if I do 
that, will iTunes be messed up when that drive isn't connected?
Thanks,
Donna
