[MacDV] Re: Hot wire transferring of I-movie files

[Mark M. Florida]

WARNING!!! MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR FIRMWARE VERSIONS ARE UP TO DATE! (if 
the computer is older than a year or two)

I got in big trouble trying to do this on an older iMac DV, and it 
freaked out and sent me to Open Firmware Land...  I was able to finally 
boot from a CD with a firmware updater on it and get the thing back, 
but it freaked me out...
