Thanks for the info. I am struggling to decide between buying an external drive or and external DVD burner. Both have usefulness down the road, although I can see myself using the DVD burner a bit more for burning video and the such. Yet, the hard drive seems to be a better method of backing up. I'd love some advice from those with more experience. On Sep 15, 2005, at 9:37 AM, Fabian Fang wrote: > On Sep 15, 2005, at 6:06 AM, Samantha Cornell wrote: > >> Also, I need to back up.
