Dear WAMUGers
Some of my students recently bought external drives to back up their laptops.
Macbook Airs running 10.7 i think (12 months old)

They said they want the Hard drive recognised by both windows and mac.
I told them MS DOS FAT

but they claimed on friday that this did not work.

Please - have I told them the wrong thing?

I don't have a big ego, I'm way too cool for that.
