You can. Panther's Home on iPod feature lets you store your home directory - files, folders, apps - on your iPod (or any FireWire hard drive) and take it with you wherever you go," Apple had written in a blurb on its Panther preview website that was eventually removed. "When you find yourself near a Panther-equipped Mac, just plug in the iPod, log in, and you're 'home,' no matter where you happen to be," the description continued. "And when you return to your home computer, you can synchronize any changes you've made to your files by using File Sync, which automatically updates offline changes to your home directory." > Stop talking like you¹re an authority on all things.

Keep > quiet on such matters until you educate yourself. neither do you. a manufacturer is not going to intentionally release a product that runs outside its own design specs. a lot of products run hot without any issue, including hard drives, usb sticks and many other things. it's almost always normal. i have a few 7200 rpm hard drives that run so hot i can't even touch the drive itself. the enclosure gets *very* warm.
