Word.


OK, OK, I'm convinced. After using Macs for 12 years without a failure, when I upgrade to Leopard, I'll get a backup drive of 320 GB or more. Probably be backing up two iMacs in different rooms. If I don't want to spring for an NAS drive, what is a good brand or drive to get. Apple Store is featuring a 500 GB Iomega for $140 (less elsewhere). Is this a reasonable choice? How about LaCie, Maxtor, Seagate? All suggestions welcome.
