dude, i don't think you have a brain

it doesnt make a difference how many usb or firewire devices you have plugged in.

right now i have my camera, ipod, and 2 externals plugged it. no problems

and why are you saying that this person wouldn't need this?

ever head of storing files? it doesnt matter what the specs of your computer are, you can still have lots of stuff. maby he has a huge music collection and a home dv camcorder.

those things take up like 15gb per tape on the hard drive.

ever think of that

its not difficult
