New in box: Smartdisk Firelite 80gb Firewire Drive(see here). Nice drive. Really small and powers off the computer. Great for throwing in the briefcase with the laptop. I got a good deal on a few, but all my friends I'd thought would want one didn't or didn't have any money. I have one for sale. $105 shipped. You send me a check.
Note: Firewire 400 only (two ports for daisychaining, no USB)

what does this bit mean? I have a 2-year-old 12" iBook G4, 800mHz, 256MB mem, etc. Think I'd meet those requirements?

You're in. Firewire is the port on the side that is square on one side and hex on the other. Has a little symbol that looks like the "flux-capacitor". Next to the two USB ports. What that meant was, this drive does not have USB connectivity, therefor most PC users can't use it. The drive itself has two ports. One for the included cord to your Mac, and then a free one for connecting any other FW device (another drive, ipod, etc) Basically, it's so you still have the port available when you are using the drive. I'm guessing you have a 30gb drive, so this will be nice. Put your itunes library folder on here and free up a bunch of space on your ibook. Backing up is a great idea too.

yeah I had my hard drive go bad a month ago, losing all of my data...apple replaced it, but all the music and photos are gone. I do have all of it backed up into my iPod photo, but I haven't tried to extract them back out again since it's kind of nice to zip around on an unsaturated, "brand-new" computer without a bunch of crap on it.
anyway my idea is to get two external hard drives - one big one to keep at home, and one to travel with. in each case iPhoto and iTunes stuff would be as you said, to free up space - I was within about 500 megs of filling this poor guy before the HD died.
anyway, sold - what do you need? check? no paypal? PM me what's up and we'll deal.
thanks boss voss.
