(20 GB) to free up 7 GB on iBook and do exactly what you mention above, it will be great to also use it to have a startup disk with Norton items for defragmentation/virus control of the iBooks disk and do repairs on the road if need be while having all of my contacts and music with me...BTW, in the meantime I found the following links that may be of use for you as well... http://www.ipoding.com/ http://www.ipodlounge.com/ Thanks again, Richard --
