I've only got a g network too at the moment but my wired LAN has been GB for years, the 802.11g comes now where near it in transfer speed, I suspect that the overheads are far greater too. On the desktop I think transfer speed has a lot to do with hardware and system software, on the best systems there is little speed difference between FW400 (FW800 is a rarity) and USB2 (I have both on all my desktop machines) but eSATA eats both of course (I have a few external drives with eSATA, USB2 and FW400 so it's pretty easy to compare). -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
