[Ti] faster int. hd question

[Ted Johansson]

I come from the LInux portable world (switched in November to an iBook 
and ordered Monday a new 12" Pbook and switch to this list). When you 
use a journaled filesystem with Linux, the disk which hosts the system 
will flush buffers and the journal with regular time intervals, so in 
practice it never powers down (it can be altered, but it is tricky). I 
guess this is similar in OSX.
