Rocky, when you have these huge files, how do you transport them? I'm assuming they don't sit on your machine all the time. I'd be hesitant about carting around a 2 Gb hard drive--you probably don't need to transport all the data. Unless you have an ethernet connection, any files over a couple MB take forever to transmit via modem--your files are too large to put on floppies aren't they? I'm not that big a fan of Jaz, yet, but what do you use to move data or make backups, archives, or to clear space on your existing hard drive? I have a Zip, but also some MO disks (dirt cheap $10 / 230 MB). What are the minimum file sizes on 4 GB hard drives? Are the file sizes a SCSI/IDE or Mac/Windows limitation? I was lucky enough to have a 1 GB drive go bad, I don't know what I would have done if I had 4 GB go bad. I don't mind scalping a point here and there on IOM, but wouldn't want to be a long term short. I got my shares back today at 19 1/2. This $12/trade thing almost makes trading stock as fun as options-- well maybe not, but it beats paying some of those time premiums. Later Chucky
