:-) Well i didi want the WD as it looked like a big jump drive, USB 2 and the online ad said it was compatible with both OSX and XP etc.
I have no trouble moving my jump drive from Mac to PC and reading pic's and documents, thus my main choice. Seems it was popular as i had ordered it from our computer lads before i left MMM and was told it was on BO. I can use the maxtor no problem, just wanted the WD. I'll see if Costco still has them here, and if so, i'll get Erin to pick it up for me. I seem to download pic's about 60/40 PC, the horse stuff boosts that number up. I'll load up the drive on the PC and the Mac, format as per Godders, load up some files and see what happens. Wow two adventures in one month, bestill my heart.:-0 Dave On 7/16/07, Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Good luck Dave. I just got an old La Cie Pocket Drive from an ebay > seller for 20 quid.
