Interesting article James.
As an aside to this, I have a Mac Mini (2.53GHz, 4 GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo) 
which has one Firewire 800 port.  I also have a WD MYbook 600Gig external drive 
which has two Firewire 800 input ports.  My question; where can I purchase an 
appropriate Firewire 800 cable to connect the two?  Tried Dick Smith, 
Officeworks, and several other computer outlets in Morley, just got the normal 
blank look we have come to expect from people who have been immersed far too 
long in the PC/Windows world.

Thanks
