    Neither. I did not know about eSATA when I got it.

    Or is it all of the above? I bought it in a hurry when my previous
    laptop died. I also did not know about ExpressCard 34, which it does
    have. And when I said neither above, I had already acquired a nine pin
    serial card which works. I did not realize how many cards exist.
    Apparently everything there ever was or will be, at least until they
    change everything again.

    How close is ExpressCard 34 to being "internal"? This is the same label
    as my nine pin card. It claims;
    "Supports Serial ATA Generation 2 Transfer Rate of 3.0Gbps" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220335207046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    And the current eSata HDD cases seem to all be USB also.

    So we shall see.

    Hello
    Actually there are lots of all sata and sata plus usb cases around. Here's one example of the selection, but there are lots more. http://www.satagear.com/SATA_Enclosures.html

    I bought a 2 bay with PS and fan cooling and installed a 1TB Seagate and a Plextor SATA DVD R/W which of which can be made bootable, even if the system won't. It's invaluable for backup and recovery and with the cushioned handle I
    installed, a pouchful of bootable CDs and DVDs and I have a mobile and professional on-the-go catastrophy kit.

    You are using a webmail client configured to use top quoting, and abusing
    it badly. I just logged into the Zimbra demo site, so I could tell you
    how to fix it!

    Click on preferences, then Composing under Mail. Change the Reply/Reply
    All to 'Include original message with the prefix below' and choose a
    prefix (the default of > works nicely).

    Thanks and sorry...no abuse intended. Is this better? I can no longer
    format as text however and it still dumps me on top by default.
    Maybe it shows up in others differently than I see it. I'm trying it this time
    in windows environs and will check Linux and OS/2 to see if there is any OS quirkiness. Hopefully this will be simple and work for me as it does apparently
    for you. If not I;ll change addy to my gmail addy
