Thanks for the info and the link Todd.  I filled my first large hard drive
very quickly too... it amazed me. The thing that probably amazed me the most
was how I got on with those 2, 4 & 6 GIG drives I had before... (and I
thought they were mammoth!)

Yes, this is what I'm after... and I (like Mark) prefer the 'command F'
filing system!!

I think I'll go for the IDE's for storage/ backup  and the Ultra SCSI for a
photoshop scratch disk...

That never changes... sigh.
