Ok, a word about USB Drives...my 120GB Seagate has gone toes up on me stranding me with 90GB of data on the drive and no way to access it. I think my problem is that I left it on all the time, but according to the tech folks at my university where I teach it's not all that unusual for the drive motors or microchips to go out on USB drives. Be careful, don't put anything that you can't afford to lose out there. Just another cautionary tale, and, as I tell my students, worth twice what was paid for it...
