I know what you mean, dude. I had a car once, but I could not afford a
parking place on my grad-student wages, so I left it in the middle of
the street, and somebody ran right into it. Not my fault, eh? Can

drive, would that be what he is looking for,
and how does one do that as far as connecting the two hard drives
