talk nerdy to me

I am about to go buy the cheapest usb disk I can find(2GB maybe just so i can potentially use it for something else in the future) to test if the disk utility I downloaded will let me use the usb port on my 800.11g airport extreme base station to mount an external hard drive. Exciting! I would use one of my other usb drives but if I used my ye olde 1GB ipod stick it would ruin the ipod-ness of it(the drive needs to be reformatted as mac OS extended) and I don't want to risk ruining my super adorable 8GB zipzip lego usb drive.

if I am able to mount the cheap usb drive after reformatting I am then allowed to buy a huuuuge external hd to plug into it and get some cloning software to make backups of mah stuffs. I am thinking I will get SuperDuper! shareware as it will let me clone for free and then I can see if I want the full lot.

this is what I have been looking at stuff for/about for the last 3 hours. before that I watched survivor (GO VILLAINS!) and ate waffles. mmm, waffles.

Mactalk just reviewed that today, if that's not where you got the info from.

Are you doing all this because you're too lazy to burn stuff?
