New Harddrive

I just got my new LaCie 250 GB HD to replace my Maxtor that literally burnt out... came in one day and the thing was too hot to touch (and I can touch pretty hot things) Ever since then, the drive has been pretty shady, losing whole files and stuff...

Well, I goofed and accidently ordered a USB only drive, thinking it was a USB/Firewire drive. I don't have 2.0, so this thing is slower than Keanu Reeves on the uptake... (yes, that took me about a minute to come up with...)

I have begun naming my drives after famous horses... Bucephallus, Bellepheron, War Emblem, Rozinante... this one is Man o' War for now, but if anyone can think of a horse that was touted to be the best, and ended up with an embarassing loss (for a race horse) or getting its rider killed (for a war horse) I'd like to name this one after it...

I will have to try to save up and upgrade my computer (I'm only one generation out of having USB 2.0) or talk someone into inventing a USB to Firewire converter...
