"The failure to back up my iBook before a major overhaul like Panther is a nitwit mistake, one paid for by a weekend's worth of troubleshooting -- most of it blind blundering about -- trying to fix it. Luckily, Panther was eventually installed and the files saved. And, I'm delighted to say, so far it's been worth all the pain it caused."

Yea, I think the poor guy noticed that just a little too late tho.
I just bought a 250 GB FW drive myself, though I am told it will not ship until mid-November :sad:

However, this does show that no matter what OS you use, it's going to give you problems if you don't take precautions. :)
