# ahh, the troubles with today's small machines . . . I"m sure that I
# could find space for them in my old mac portable  . . . come to think
# of it, various partitions on a 40G drive should be overkill for
# bacdking up a 40M . . . :)

Luckily, most of the older Mac portables had a SCSI connection unlike
the newer PowerBooks. But there are FireWire external drive arrays that
one could purchase (it even has a spot for a battery so you can travel
with it without carrying around a wall-wart or draining your laptop
power).

Prolly the ol' SyQuest drives would be great for backing up that 40MB
hard drive... hehe
