Thanks Tarik and Rod, This information helps. My concern of course is that people won't bring them and I will be stuck with frustrated people wondering why "I" don't have one. Guess I will look around a bit. I guess the other thing I could do would be to attach their machines to mine and boot theirs as a FW drive. That could work I think. Just need the proper fw cable for that. And thanks Rod my little business is on the sidelines at the moment as I go to school and am waiting to upgrade all my VR equipment. Sigh....sometime soon especially with the handheld market becoming available with things such as immervision. Quicktime also has increasing market presence with the Ipod driving that.
