As said, pretty barebones MyBook--surprised they even bothered to put it 
in a box.  But hey for 80 bux who's whining.

And as also said, if backing up a win box was as simple as it was for a 
miggy, I wouldn't need imaging software--just compress/copy elsewhere 
would do the trick.  But having a copy of the installed software ain't 
the same as having the installed software with all its requisite 
registry keys and assorted win dross.

Like it.  I believe the Home edition of TrueImage will work a treat.

Thanx silvio for the reminder.

Best for the holidaze,
