[00:06] <wrst> xTEMPLARx: glad you finally joined us again
[00:06] <Unit193> He's been joining us all evening, and leaving, and joining... ;D
[00:20] <wrst> yes silly xTEMPLARx
[00:20] <wrst> Unit193:  you doing ok?
[00:21] <Unit193> Hope so.  You?
[00:22] <wrst> yep doing well... last time i checked
[02:07] <alyawn> Hey... I promised a buddy of mine he could borrow my spare external 80GB  USB HDD to grab some files he needed from a friend
[02:07] <alyawn> I just realized he will probably be dealing with windows and mac computers
[02:08] <alyawn> should I format it with exFat, NTFS, FAT32? From what I gather he could in-fact need to grab a few files bigger than 4GB
[02:08] <alyawn> of course, it's currently formatted with ext3... what to do...
[02:12] <chris4585> alyawn, ntfs
[02:12] <chris4585> ntfs can handle larger files
[02:14] <alyawn> yeah... what's the likelyhood that they will be able to read/write the NTFS drive on a mac?
[02:14] <alyawn> from what I hear that's not a standard capability on a mac
[02:14] <chris4585> oh, wasn't thinking about that, I'm not 100% about this but the newer os x software I believe can read ntfs
[02:15] <chris4585> so :/
[02:16] <chris4585> this may help http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1286387
[02:32] <alyawn> I think I'll roll the dice with exFAT
[02:32] <alyawn> and tell him he can format to whatever he needs if it doesn't work
[02:33] <alyawn> but, I think most of these large USB thumb drives come with exFAT
[02:36] <chris4585> ah, I never really have to worry about mac, but my ps3 is something I always have to consider
