I am preparing a portable hard disk as 1) an offsite backup and 2) as resource for others to access in case of my incapacity. There will be a mixture of material, many Word documents but also many GB of iPhoto Libraries and archived emails. I believe the latter two can only sensibly be accessed from a Mac, though it is possible to dig original pictures out of an iPhoto library. In the ultimate bad case the disk may be accessed in the first instance from a PC. Which is the best format for the disk? Severin Crisp
