[Jeremy Naylor]

Hey Jamie,

My laptop is nice and light (1.something kgs). I bring it to every meeting 
with me.

Mind you, it's only got a 10GB HD in it though, and because of this I think 
your 30GB HD would probably be a better option.

Would it be possible to join your 30GB HD and my 10GB HD together to make 
40GBs in total? I mean, not as 2 network shares, but as 2 'virtual' HDs? If 
this is possible, I don't know how it would be done.

Thanks,

Jeremy Naylor.
