(A big 'Thank You' to the folks doing Power Line Repairs from the snowstorm.
Had the old work (2007) iMac OEM hd get flaky last night but now running 10.6.8 off a FW800 boot drive until I can get suction cups to remote the glass for an internal drive swap. Moved to HD into a (v3) FW800 Ministack which sleeps OK so I may leave it this way. Thanks to James and Wolf for suggestions on suction cup sources. Found one at a local store - long handle type with cups at each end. Handle rotates to lock/seal.)
