Making zip files in finder.

Re: USB2 It really depends on the manufacturer in the end, or it might be something as simple as having more sockets in the pci card.

Re: DVD I'm not sure if it will make a noticable difference in speed going over USB2

Just about to miss the 20.30 bus - sudden inspiration, workwise.

Will be at KJ's by shortly after 9.
