I have used Lacie drives for years with good results. However thay have a terrible reputation for frequent failures. Just hasn't happened to me. These are the drives I carry with me to clients and an constantly using them with different computers. More recently I have used enclosures from Macally. Not as durable as the Lacie drives, but they do the job and are lots cheaper. Betty: It is not about buying the cheapest, its is about not spending more than necessary to get the job done. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
