La Cie external 160 Gb with (single FireWire port) PowerBook 667 for 
video work. Excellent drive, and less than 1 pound sterling (not sure 
if the pound sign will email correctly) per Gb.  Silent and small 
enough to carry in a Kensington Saddlebag when I need to.

Previously had older (blue plastic) 80 Gb La Cie. Expensive, heavy, 
noisy, ugly and disgusting personal habits ( no sorry, thats my 
brother).
