It would be very easy to convert EIDE to external usage, the only
problem is that EIDE cables aren't really supposed to be longer than
15 to 20 inches (otherwise you'll get signalling problems), and EIDE
controller connections are also never mounted externally.  Put the
controller on the outside of the case and get a high quality bounded
cable (as opposed to a standard EIDE ribbon cable) and you can put it
external very easily.

Well I don't want this to turn into a Mac vs. Pc war again, but for me
I don't think it's the OS as much as the installed software base.
Sure, MacOS has its flaws and I don't really like using it, but the
REAL reason why I don't like it is because the amount of good software
available for it is next to nothing compared to the PC.  Sure there's
a lot of good software for the mac... but it really pales in
comparison to the PC.  One trip to best buy's software ailes will tell
you this.  "But I don't care about the software available for the PC,
it all sucks anyways; I have all the software I'll ever need for my
Mac!!!" <- then good for you :).
