how to divide a new 2 Terrabyte external drive

I just bought a new 2T external drive to use for my iMac back up. I use SuperDuper to back up and of course, Time Machine. So at least 2 partitions. Now throw this into the mix: TechToolPro. Micromat suggests I make an edrive of TTP to use as a start up drive. ( From Micromat: Note

It looks like Freehand might be OK—there is an updater that is supposed to remedy how Freehand starts up. Quark, though it's unfortunate that I've spent $ on this software, I'd just as soon let it go. I really don't like Quark. Future clients will just have to deal with that. ;-) If I end up

Re: External Drive

FYI Quark 8 is a way different re interface than earlier versions... it mimics adobe modern interfaces, is very appealing. And it is far superior to InDesign re building Flash output; can do most of what Flash itself does right inside Quark... great if you're more of a print designer than web

Yeah, go to http://8.quark.com/, you can download a free trial. You can upgrade from your earlier version of Quark. Take a look at what they can do re Flash... a lot of great info links on their site. The thing about InDesign is that their conversion to web layout from any given page layout is

booting 20 G4 iMac to external drive

Hi, My ol' G4 20 iMac has been collecting dust as family members seem to prefer the convenience of laptops. My wife suddenly wants to load up her iPod Touch with tunes she had on the old iMac, but I'm getting an infinite blue screen when I try to boot it up. Perhaps the internal HD is fried. If
