>>The hard disks used in the iPod are the Toshiba 1.8" diameter disk drives at 5 and 10GB. There is a 20GB version also but that is not used by Apple. IBM's Microdrive uses a 1" disk at 340MB, 500MB, and 1GB sizes. I know you guys know this - but the mind fades at times....<< Jeff - Thanks for the correction. I did know that at one time, but had forgotten. When I was a young man, in the sixties and seventies, I was told that drugs would cause brain damage. I didn't believe it. Apparently, I was wrong. I did stop using drugs eventually, but the damage had already been done. ;[) - Allen
