PM G4 933 with lots of goodies.  I have an external enclosure that I  
want to add a sata drive to use as a  back up.  Did hard drive prices  
just jump up like 30% in the last month or is it my imagination?

If they did, was it because of the flooding  in one of the countries  
making the drives? Thailand, I believe? I thought I saw something in  
another thread about that ...

Re: Getting really sick of access privileges

For example, I just pulled a TIFF image from Computer A to Computer B.

That sounds as though you didn't really  copy the file on the remote disk 
before you opened it with an editor.  It's something like the meaning of 
pulled. If you copied the file to a local folder it's yours. If you're trying 
to edit it remotely it still belongs to someone else as far as the OS is 
concerned.

When your editor goes to save it on the remote machine you, as the local user, 
must have read and execute access to the remote directory into which the file 
will be stored.

Have you tried a Save-As into a local directory?  Does the directory where the 
file is stored on the remote machine have write access for everyone?  That's 
actually fairly dangerous and is unlikely to be an Apple default.

Apple's GUI access to permissions lacks some capability in that it doesn't make 
it easy to set and unset the execute bit in the UNIX way.  It's whole lot 
easier in Terminal.app where you can perform an ls -l  to see all of the 
permission bits with chmod available to reset them. But yeahhh.  I know. That's 
not the Apple way.

It's also just possible that someone has enabled access control lists.  That's 
popular in machines that are network servers but it's a real PITA in a home 
environment. Is computer A, perhaps, a machine at work and mounted over the 
internet?

More than that in some cases. I bough a 3TB drive not long ago,
Hitatchi. Was $120. Today the exact same drive is $250. (HDD 3T|
HITACHI 0S03230 5.4 K)
The Thailand floods are having a huge impact on the bare drive market.
Glad I am in no rush to buy more storage right now.

Price per GB has just about doubled and maximum quantities have been
reduced to one per order.

The problems will eventually be resolved and we'll be back to a highly
competitive situation, although with only two major suppliers (Seagate and
WD) and the prices will move towards where they were.
