Nik
ok, i really want to buy Logic Pro 9 for my mac to do recording and such, but i know i dont have enough memory on my mac to instal it because i only have the 64GB mac. if there anyway to instal Logic Pro 9 onto my 500GB portable hard drive instead of my macs hard drive? i dont want to spend $200.00 and then realize i cant install it.
Answer
Logic Pro 9 comes with huge collections of libraries, which means program itself isn't that big; around 1 GB or less.
Other than that you can pretty much install on an external drive if you have any.
If you still don't own please make sure you buy one with:
SATA or eSata port - if your Mac supports those connection or you have enough money to get PCI cards for the port. Second choice would be Firewire 800 then USB2. and it also depends on what kind of audio interface you are using.
7200RPM or more; no 5400RPM
which means 2.5 is not recommended - it limits number of the samples you can play simultaneously.
but if you think you won't max out the spec you can go for it.
plan accordingly

How can I watch movies stored on my external portable hard drive on TV?
Undecided
I've a lot of movies on my 1T external WD hard drive. How can I connect and watch it on my plasma TV? What EXACTLY do I need to buy? The more specifics the better coz i'm not very savvy when it comes to computer tech. Thanks for your help.
Can I watch without connecting the hard drive to a desk/laptop?
Answer
I strongly recommend the Western Digital HD Live Plus. Not only will you be able to watch your movies on your harddrive, but you will have access to Hulu, Netflix (you need to hack it), etc. It supports almost all formats including DivX, XVid, MKVs, etc etc.
Comes with a remote.
You can get a little usb wifi thing to stream from your desktop/watch hulu/etc. It has a ethernet port as well. It's an awesome little product. Actually, I'm not sure if you can stream from your desktop, but I'm pretty sure you can.
It's $90 on newegg, but you can find deals for around $70ish. Also, I've seen refurbished ones go for $50-60ish.

If the price is steep, then you can opt for the non-plus version, which is like $20 less but doesn't have the hulu option/internet option.
Other options include using a PS3 (if you already have one) but they only support avi formats and not mkv, divx support is shaky, and I think there's a 2GB filesize max.
HTPC.
Connecting the external hard drive to your laptop and connecting your laptop to your TV. Can work for your desktop as well.
HTPC is the real way to go imo though. They haven't picked up yet, but you can build one for around $300ish and it's an actual computer attached to your TV. A lot of versatility there. In about 2-3 years I'm pretty sure there will be a few popping out on the main stream. Apple TV and Google TV are RETARDED. Ugh, stupid licensing issues (Apple's fault) make them both stupid options. It's too restricted.
