Thanks for the advice,
Can a mac read an external USB drive that came from a Windows XP machine ? The mac sounds interesting. I like the idea of being able to pop open a native shell to the system and do 'ps -ef' and see what is running and be able to write a ruby script that does a fork() that works correctly etc. I use cygwin on windows, but it doesn't feel the same .. I know you can install dual windows/linux using VM-Ware or some such, but it sounds complicated to me. I guess I don't like the idea of reinstalling windows, but if I am going to stick with windows, I guess I need to consider that. I'd be affraid that one of my backup CD's would go bad or that I would screw it up somehow. I'm wondering if I can backup windows to an external drive and reinstall it that way ?
