Considering it is an iMac and that you may in future upgrade your computer (the iMac likely has a smaller drive, you don't mention its size) putting it into a firewire case certainly makes it a lot more portable. You could move any iPhoto iTunes and other iApp folders there if you need the space on your internal drive. On the flip side the 80 gig is likely newer and faster than your current internal one which would provide some increase in responsiveness that you would notice when launching apps or saving files etc. The dv would 'feel' faster'. Your choice! Martin ----------------------------------------------------------- For information about MUGLO: http://www.freewebs.com/muglo -----------------------------------------------------------
