Mounting a Mac drive

[Jonathan Younker]

We had a major power spike here that seems to have scuttled a number of 
workstations, and I've been enjoying explaining to people that I can 
retrieve their MS files for them through Linux.  I was hoping to play 
around with a Mac drive, too...  Sure is more fun than coding PHP all day long!
Thanks again,
Jonathan.
