Hi MACer's,

	My SE's HD20 is slowly but surely filling up, despite my best weeding
efforts, so I am considering the purchase of an external hard drive, probably a
Jasmine 45.  

	So, how do other folks out there with multiple hard disks USE them?  Do
you put applications on one, and data on another?  Which one is bootable?  If
you do place applications on one, is there a method for bypassing the bit where
SFGetfile looks in the applications directory for data files (an
inconvenience)?

	Also, any recommendations for external hard drives in the ~40MB range?

As always,

Thanks!

Rich
