[G4] Hard disk update feedback

[Craig Turner]

I've bought a couple of Oxford 911 external Firewire cases in the past  
two months, one for my wife and one for me. If you have any hard drives  
available, this is a good way to go, I think. Or you can purchase  
Firewire externals with hard drives in them.

I purchased mine from Otherworld Computing. I'm very pleased with  
price/performance. I use Carbon Copy Cloner to make backups so that, in  
a pinch, I could start up from the external if I had to. Most important  
though is ease of backup which makes me more likely to do it!

HTH,
Craig Turner
