Full Featured Pocket Hard Drives?

Lifix asks: "I've recently been asked to be caregiver to about 150 Apple desktops. While building my software kit to handle these machines, I realized that I would need a good portable hard drive to restore the machines from when they crashed. Cost really isn't an issue but I only need enough room for 3 partitions each with restore images of less than 10 gigs, so a 40g drive would be fine. It doesn't have to be designer, it just has to work. Does anyone have any suggestions/experience with a drive thats going to be a small form factor (throw it in my messenger bag/toolkit), reliable, bootable, 7200 rpm (!important!) and support Firewire400/800 and USB 2.0?"

And given the future of the global economy, you might want to start calling the Yuan (China) real money. But certainly, the Euro is a much better global choice than the US Dollar, and if China ever stops artificially lowering their exchange rate, the Yuan will probably be the strongest currency. After all, if you have over 1/5th of the world population using it, it must be a pretty good candidate for "real money". The dollar may be relatively strong, but only around 1/20th of the population really use it. (Not counting international business transactions, since the currency used really makes no difference.)
