My experience trying to do this with a Win98SE laptop was not good.
I have an external SCSI-based burner. I tried two different brands
of SCSI PCMCIA cards. Both totally hung my machine. Both vendors
had no useful suggestion about how to burp the card to life.
However, an off-brand IEEE 1394

I will say that you are perhaps right in that Mac users adore their

I fear a long thread is about to begin but I have to say it again for Tanya's

Tell me the name of 1 native windows program that automatically
imports and catalogs your pictures from a digital media source. It

I think that you likely hit upon the higher ratio of Macs (whether as
extreme as indicated in the article I read, or not) among NFL PJ's.
Probably provided by their employers. The article did mention that
