Regular readers may remember my comments on protecting the digital home, regarding my efforts to find a NAS solution for my home Mac network. Ironically, my chosen solution did little to live up to the title of that blog post, because the Maxtor Shared Storage II drive I purchased didn’t protect me at all.

It's one nice bit of nerd tech that i use all the time (though the other day it overheated and sent me into a tizz, because it sent me 50 emails over a 2 hour period). I had to go home and clean out all the dust - eurgh. http://www.infrant.com/main.html Anyways - worthwhile looking into if you want a slightly more expensive solution that has been well thought out and offers more redundancy than you can poke a stick at. Cheers, Stephen Hi Pat,
