once, again, thanks so much for all the good, _and_ very timely 
info/advice you're giving me. I'm pretty well sold on what you 
recommend (I checked out the sites you gave me, and also some 
reviews).

one thing, though, I'd like to be clear on, re: the Argosy hard drive 
enclosure kit.

the PCMicroStore advertisement, 
<http://www.pcmicrostore.com/PartDetail.aspx?q=c:36232;p:10500933>, 
states the following:

  System and other requirements:

     * Mac OS 8.6 / 9.X / 10.X or above (Ver.10.03,10.1,10.12)

not sure what they're saying there, but as long as it works with 
Tiger, and I can put a clone of my hard drive on it from where I'm at 
now (10.1.5), I'm fine with it.

by the way, do you know if I'd be able to purchase the Argosy kit 
locally, here in New York City, at J&R or somewhere else in the city?

Daniel
