but... I have a computer question. Does anyone here, know for sure if a computer hard drive can be formatted for FAT32, and thus read and writeable by both Mac and PC platform computers, just like a flash drive or memory card? I own both type computers and was wondering about this. I have heard that using a Drobo unit, which uses eSata drives, basically computer hard drives, that they can be formatted this way, i.e. FAT32. Are there pros and cons to doing this? Can a portable external hard drive, either FW or USB be formatted in such a way??? Thanks in advance for any help, Don
