Yeah ..  I have the drive mounted on three computers -- none can do a

ouch!  wonder why .. if the drive appears mounted and I can drag and

(oddly, when copying a file, the Finder doesn't throw up a panel  
telling it's happening .. no progress panel


I'll probably pull it off the AE/n and hang it off one of computers  
as I have before and wait for Leopard.  I
