Is THIS a hard drive ?

It's just the wrong text attached to the article. It *IS* a USB harddrive. But you might want to look for a USB-2 harddrive, because you might still use the harddrive with your next computer. And USB isn't exactly FAST when copying files. I've once made a backup of my iBook/300 to a USB harddrive. I *always* had to keep it running the whole night, which isn't really what you want, is it?

You might also consider buying a cheap USB case for harddrives and buy a new internal harddisk for your iMac. (And put the internal one into the USB case.)
 
My G3/500 iMac is not equipped with USB2 plugs, am I right ?

I don't really care the speed, but the price/storage. A FireWire HD would be very fine, but it's quite expensive.

Your USB case idea is a good one, I'll consider it again when I'll have two disks.
 
No Mac comes with USB2, a PCI USB 2.0 card can be added to some systems, but not an iMac! A USB 2.0 HD could be used with your iMac, but would only work at USB 1.1 speed (slow!) Good for backups, but really slow for any daily working use.
 
If this is true (Ill check soon), I'll join you on the Bakunin side of the Force ;). Thanx for the link !

"No orders" :p
 
This HD was already in my bookmarks, I found it just after your first mention to macsales.com :D

Are you part of the FAQ writers ?
I'd like to know if this is their own work or if it's taken from a book or anything.

I think I'll get this HD beside my Mac before 2003 :p.

No, I'm not, but I think it's a good description of what anarchism really is. There are many varieties of anarchism, but the the main principle in them all is to have no leader(s). All literature about anarchism is explainations for why it can work, why it will not lead to the same problems as in a capitalist society and how to "organize" an anarchist society.
Most of the FAQ is written by various anarchists, but some of it is quoted from books (the source is mentioned if it is).

I'm studying politics, here in France, don't worry I know what anarchism is about. John Clarke from Loyola University, New Orleans, came for a colloquium last year. He slept at home :). I've also been working intensively on Chomsky and Bakunin's theory of Revolution, as well as on French anarchists (beginning of 19th century).


"I hate receiving orders as much as I hate giving them" was the definition of anarchism I remembered. It's a quote from an old Spanish woman during the Spanish War.
