- In fiscal year 1986 to 87, local, state, and federal governments spent a combined total of 16.6 billion dollars on law enforcement. - David Apr 24, 10:13 2

        No doubt. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 24, 10:20
I've got a LaCie external hard drive with multiple connectors. I'd like to share it between two computers. Can I pull this off? - Mop (198 lbs) Apr 24, 10:06 11
- No. Plug it into Windows and network share it to the mac -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 10:17 2
  - Over a corporate network? -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Apr 24, 10:18 1
    - If you're concerned, use a crossover cable between the two computers, but yeah, you could still share it from PC to PC even on corp -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 10:19
