LaCie introduced yesterday a new triple interface hard disk. Created by Scottish product designer Neil Poulton, the sleek black disk is "the first LaCie product to bring eSATA connectivity to a consumer level product," according the to the company, combining that interface with USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 ports.
Available in 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB models, the new hard disk is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Mac OS X 10.3 and higher. The drives will be available for a suggested starting price of $149.99, joining its less expansive USB-only counterparts ($109.99), which were announced late last year.
The 500GB version is available today, via LaCie's site. The device ships with a two year warranty.

I have had the Slingbox for over two years, and love it. I can sit in my Laz-Boy and watch the DirecTv Box on my Laptop (Including the programs I have recorded) while my wife watches what she wants on a different Sat. Rec.on the big 50 inch TV so then we are both happy. The Sling Box is the best. I also use it in Hotel Rooms when we travel, and even in the Truck, except that now Verizon does no longer allow the Slingbox to work anymore on their phone imbilical cord to Computer Cell Phone Wireless Internet connection. Last Year we could watch the SlingBox in the Truck using that Verizon connection, but that does not work anymore. It will work if we find a Hot Spot. The SlingBox is the best product we have ever purchased, now we can keep up to date while traveling.

If it looks like that, that's pretty swank. I could certainly stack a few of those next to the HTPC for backups and storage. :D

Michael,
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because if the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Gpa - you are so right. Good story, but sounds familiar.
