I *really* feel the need to buy a Firewire HD, having not backed up 
several gig of iMovie stuff that I did last night. Is there anywhere 
apart from Cancom where I can walk in and buy one? 

I'm perfectly happy to go to Cancom and buy their Smartdisk Crossfire 
which they have in stock, but I don't like the way it looks. 

I know. How "Apple-owner" is that. 

Any thoughts (on where I might buy an alternative that is)?

Or alternatively, of course, buy an iPod and use that...

Thanks for the tips. Robert Sayle only had big Maxtor drives at more 
than I wanted to pay. iPods are in short supply and besides, I don;t 
think I would have got away with buying one as a back up solution :-) PC 
World again only had big and expensive. I went for the slightly ugly but 
reasonably priced Smartdisk which will be hidden under the table!

What are you willing to pay?  World of Computers has a Maxtor 120GB unit 
for �140.
