Get a great deal on a USB hard disk from the Apple Store.
I’m in the middle of writing an article about my top ten favorite Leopard features (look for it on October 26 after 6 PM). One of those features is Time Machine, which I really think will simplify my backup procedures and help protect all of my data.
Of course, to back up an entire 500GB hard disk, you need a 500GB hard disk to put all the data on. So imagine my delight when I saw that the Apple Store has a 500GB high speed USB hard disk for just $139.95. Just in time for Time Machine backups.
Check it out here.

So my Mac is a MacBook Pro, and clearly I’m not going to carry the external disk around with me all the time… I assume that Time machine will do magic things that let backup / synchronisation happen without me worrying, whenever I connect it to my chosen Time Machine disk?
I guess I’ve got a lot of new learning to do come Oct 26th.
I can’t answer your question — yet. (I take non-disclosure very seriously.) Let’s just say that you don’t need to worry about it, as long as you plug in that hard disk when you can.
