[MacDV] IMovie Project Info

[William J. McClellan]

Hi Chuck

I have done this on a couple of different macs.  I use an iBook to 
carry some of my files from machine to machine.  In fact if you start 
or restart the iBook holding down the letter "T" (lower case) it will 
boot as an external firewire hard drive.  You just hook the 2 machines 
together with a firewire and transfer files.

Try the Titanium to see if it will boot the same way.
