Thanks Murray,
I've been burrowing around on the web trying to find out more about 
this....I think I should hold off on a purchase until after MacWorld.  
I'm really not sure that firewire is up to what I'm putting through it. 
  I'd like to hear more though.  When you look at the numbers they 
really aren't comparable.

regards,
julie
