Hi Ronni and Sue
Thanks for the reply and its good to be back in the mix. It was
kind of weird not having all the wamug emails daily and it only
twigged a short while ago!!
re the usb drives, I was amazed to see such a large drive being
usb powered now. Im going to take my MB in tomorrow and just plug
it in and see if I can drag a couple of files across. Not bad
value at under $200 for 500gb!!
thanks again

Just be aware that your enthusiasm may be curbed if you ever try
to copy very large amounts of data at once (such as cloning your
hard drive!). USB 2.0 tends to choke and slow to a crawl under
such conditions. This is why a drive with a Firewire port, while
more expensive, is a much better option. It is much better at
