Well, that's also partly driven by my wish to have easy-to-move drives
for my system and the wife's.

As an aside, if I want a disk drive for general storage of MP3s and
pictures, accessible from linux and M$, what's a good filesystem to
use?  NTFS?  FAT?  Or are there ext{2|3} format readers for Windows?

Good point.  I thought I had seen something inidcating that "modern"
BIOSes could do this - in reference to a USB flash drive boot tool.
