I know I'm supposed to power on the drive 1st and then turn on the Classic, but how long after (3 sec. 5 sec 10sec???). Also, what will happen if I turn them both on at the same time as sometimes my wife forgets (read: he's to embarrassed to say he forgets). Is there a powerstrip that will power on the drive first and then the Mac? There was mention of the product PowerKey, is this what I need? This really is kind of a drag. E-mail is appreciated. Oh, and thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- You wont find any fancy .signature here ------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Cook (rcook@ncsa.uiuc.edu)
