Do any of you folks know anything about external hard drives?

As in, where should I get one and do I need to go to a physical store in order to speak to someone about mac compatability?

I found this article on the apple.com website. It looks like as long as both devices have a USB or FireWire connection, it should be fine. They had one recommended elsewhere on the website, but after seeing all the negative comments on it, I didn't figure it'd be worth your time.

Amazon has a whole section devoted to external hard drives here, but they can probably be found anywhere computers are sold (i.e. Best Buy, Circuit City, etc). Also, they should tell in the product specs or, if you go in person, on the box if they're Mac compatable (all the ones I've looked at seem to be). I hope that helps! :-)

i guess i just don't trust anyone around here with working on a mac. i need to get something on mine fixed but i'm not sure where to go about doing that. there's not an apple store anywhere to be found. would you know where i could get it fixed? it's not a big problem at all but i just don't trust normal pc techs.

usually places like circuit city have a 'mac specialist.' i don't know anything about the hattiesburg store and i'm not sure if these specialists are really to be trusted anyhow, but it's probably a better chance than most of the pc folks around.

how the hell are you? we should catch up.

no shit we should catch up. i'm alright. could be worse. i won beer pong last night. just thought i'd throw that out there.
