#39 10-20-07 Best Buy
Today I went to Best Buy. Dad yesterday told me I needed to start thinking of a Christmas list for him and Grandma. So we went to Best Buy thinking ill probably find a few things that I want. So when I was in there I spotted a few Apple products surprisingly. Well don’t get excited there was only a Apple Keyboard, Mighty Mouse, and Airport Extreme Base Station. Well the only thing I really want is the Might Mouse, so that was the only thing out of the Apple stuff that I wanted. I also spotted a very nice external hard drive that I think was 750GB in space. The one thing that caught my eye was that it was a Firewire, USB, and eSata. Didnt really care about the eSata, but it had 2 firewire ports in the back of the drive and 1 USB port. I dont really know why you would need 2 firewire ports unless it can be hooked up to 2 computers at once which I really dont have a use for.

The two firewire ports are for daisy-chaining a la SCSI. It actually acts more like a hub than a daisy chain, but basically it allowes you to have more than one FW device connected tot he same computer
