What happened to world domination???

I have an external usb/firewire drive that is 160g, I've seen the same 
model in a 250g.  You'll likely end up going with fat if you want 
writeability from both Linux and windows.

I've wanted to test this in the past as I've seen usb drives show up 
during Linux installs, but haven't had the time to play with it.
