Based on recent readings on the web, it seems that at least the WD 250 Gig 
2.5" USB ext. drives are SATA inside, *not* IDE as I suspected. And, for those 
interested, BestBuy.com is offering the 250 Gig USB 2.0 ext. HD for $99.95, 
meaning you can upgrade, say, a current model Apple notebook to 250 Gigs for 
$100...

Thought some here might be interested.

(Pink is available online, other colors on backorder - availability varies in 
local stores)

Oh, and the $99.95 is without rebate hassles...

Anyway,

Lionel
