Anyone have an Office Depot near them? Apparently one/some have Seagate Passport 750GB portable drives on clearance today.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Hey. New board.
It's not bad. This is better: [link]
I've had one of these (1 TB) for over a year now, and it works great. It started life as a Time Machine drive + media server, then got transferred to being a video editing repository.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, what's the easiest way to wipe a hard drive on an XP machine? Boot into DOS 5 and reformat? That's what I used to do, anyway. But so far I haven't been able to find our DOS disk.

Cool! But I finally managed to get the thing to boot from the install CD, so I reformatted that way.
Next step: Install Windows 7! And the new version of IE!
Maybe I should get out more.

Ah-ha. That is cool. I do that by plugging it into my router (which has a USB port for sharing drives and printers over the network) but if your router can't do that it is a useful feature.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have any recs for good iPod Touch cases? It's for my sister, so nothing overly geeky. Just good protection.
