It may take a couple of days, as my the hard drive on the Pismo crapped out. Not good at all! I usually back up every week, but missed last week. $500 to recover lost data on a drive. Neither OS X or OS 9 install or Norton Utilities would recognize the disk. So, I ended up downloading Disk Warrior onto my wife's Dual G4, setting up my Pismo in a firewire target mode, and after about an hour, managed to get everything back. Big deep breath of relief. By the way, Disk Warrior gets two thumbs up! Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
