OK--enough. Among the conversation here, plus Rob's endorsement, which I trust, plus a recent big print sale I made, I've been enabled. I just ordered a Compactdrive PD7X with an 80GB disk and Mac firmware upgrade.
I'm planning to do some traveling this year--possibly taking the transiberian, after years of thinking about it. I'm going to take the istD, Powerbook, and the Compactdrive as the main storage unit. The fact that I can have, say, three sets of AAs and use the drive as a charger while using the batteries in drive and istD is a huge plus. I'll report to the list if there's anything I have to add once I get the drive. Thanks for the enablement, j -- Juan Buhler http://www.jbuhler.com/ http://www.jbuhler.com/photoblog
