Gee, I'm glad someone understands me :) I wouldn't want to use HFS
(That's MAC, right?) because then a lot of programs wouldn't recognize
it- I wrote another reply to some one else saying this and some one else
replied "There is a program in development for a P8 HFS reader" which is
good, but the keywords there are "IN DEVELOPMENT" which means NOT YET.

The main problem is: If you have two things on separate partitions that
you want to use in synch, you run into problems because technically they
are on _different_drives_! Now that's a pain...
