for your laptop. If you have USB 2, either on the laptop or on a PCMCIA card, then a USB 2 external harddrive drive will be marginally faster than firewire (IIRC, USB 2.0 is rated for 480 MB/s while firewire is only rated for 400.)
I've seen 60 gig external USB (2) drives hovering around $125. You might be able to find them cheaper.
If you look back at Al S's old posts, he's a Mac guy. Firewire is one of those Mac things. With the appropriate adaptors, PCs can use firewire (BTDT).
