I never really thought I'd have to worry about partitioning a hard drive on
the Mac.. "Self..", I thought, "..you have 20 megs.. That will fill up in a
minute. Besides, you don't need partitions."

Well, now I've found myself in a position where I have a hard drive that
I DO want to partition (because
				a) It's 80 megs
				b) It's not my mac, and the hard drive is
				   used by a lot of people. There is now a
				   need for security (due to abusive
				   measures by certain unnamed individuals).

It is for this reason that I am now in need of a program to partition the
hard drive, WITH password protection (if this is possible). I know that I've
seen programs in the past that partition drives, but I never paid them much
attention. Is it possible with just any drive? The drive I'm using is an
80 meg quantum drive that came with the mac (internal). Is there any public
domain or shareware software to do this? (With a password, preferably).
Is there any good commercial software for a relatively low price?

I know that the Jasmine drive on another Mac has a password partitioning
progam.. Will it work on a non-Jasmine drive? Is that legal? Will Jasmine
sell copies of the software?

What's the fastest animal on earth? Why are tomatoes in Sun Foods $5.34
each? And just who is this guy driving my car?

Thanks..

..Jeff Keegan
