[Duo2400] Re: Hacks and success on this list

[Larry Friedman]

The simple fact is that I'm not going to use all the data space in 
these environments. My serious work is on my 15", but I did want to be 
able to transfer data around so they are all regular HFS. 7.6.1 can't 
see HFS+ and Emma spends a lot of her time in that environment so that 
doesn't bother me. The only reason I ran out of space on my various PBs 
is when I started DJing from them and needed high-res MP3 files. When I 
get around to putting MP3s on Emma (the 2400) I'll re format them down 
to like 96kps. Smaller files on a primitive speaker, not going to 
notice the difference. I know that HFS is not the most efficient, but 
that doesn't matter on this machine.
