Can someone suggest a good website to buy a cheap network hard drive?

What do you mean by "network" hard drive?

Regardless, dealnews.com is your friend.

Hard drive that hooks directly up to a network (without needing a computer or OS running it.) I guess like a mini-server. Checking out dealnews now, thanks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Search on NAS, Wolfram -- network attached storage.

Thanks for the term, ita.

So far I think this might be perfect: [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, I have 2 Mac-related questions that are moronically simple, but I don't know the answers anyway:

(1) if I'm going to transfer data from my old laptop to my new iBook via a USB cable, should it be an A to A cable, or an A to B cable? [I'm aware of firewire cables; my current laptop doesn't have a firewire port.]

(2) I have DSL now. My iBook will have an AirPort Extreme card. If I want to use my DSL connection wirelessly, I need a router, correct? Like the AirPort Extreme base station? (Or a random other Mac-friendly router.) Do I need *more* than a wireless router?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

(1) if I'm going to transfer data from my old laptop to my new iBook via a USB cable, should it be an A to A cable, or an A to B cable?

I'm not aware of any reliable method of transferring data between a PC and a Mac via USB, unless you want to buy special software, (which comes with its own cable).

Moving data between a PC and a Mac with an ethernet cable is pretty straightforward, though.

(2) I have DSL now. My iBook will have an AirPort Extreme card. If I want to use my DSL connection wirelessly, I need a router, correct? Like the AirPort Extreme base station? (Or a random other Mac-friendly router.) Do I need *more* than a wireless router?

That's all you should need.
