This entire article is written as a proposal to a coprporation for a new, very unique computing system. Please offer criticism and suggestions to improve the system, and tell me whether you think it could work. What exactly is the "Edge Computing System" And more importantly, why would I want to go to the trouble of developing it? The Edge Computing System is just that, an entire system, not just a new type of computer or new software suite. The Edge is the means by which you can have your personal computer with you at all times.

Thanks for the tip but I was already trying to format NTFS. Ther is a known bug that sounds like the problem I had (something keeps a handle open on the new volume, thus disallowing the format), but the stated workaround didn't work and the hotfix was supposedly included in W2K SP3, which I already had installed. I ended up plugging it into my XP Pro machine and formatting it there, but now have some other problem where the format didn't complete at 99%. I've got a few more days before the return period runs out to tinker with it.
As for my dual removable HD idea, it occurs to me (duh!) that a consumer friendly RAID mirroring setup with removable drives would likely be adequate for what I had in mind.
Lots of good ideas here all around.
