Any one care to comment here Am I under a false belief that that a modification of FreeBSD Unix is the kernal of OSX and that it is in fact a real Unix system at its heart and soul? Bah - OSX is not UNIX, it uses a Mach microkernal (which is a nasty piece of work) not a unix kernal.

Anyone have a recommendation for large capacity Hard disk chambers that would be good for archival storage. The requirements would be: low-cost per megabyte Slow! It needn't be fast access or transfer rates (not being used for online fast access, but rather off-line storage of material). 3.5 or

We've seen 120GB ATA hard disk chambers for as low as $369 which is a great price per megabyte ratio for a HD, but would love even larger capacities per drive. We've seen 200Gb chambers but these have 8MB caches and are obviously geared for speed and thus have a commensurately higher price
