I won't use it in a downpour. In tough conditions I put on an Aquatech cover. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/500360-REG/Aqua_Tech_SS_FLASH_SS_FLASH_Sport_Shield.html
A large zip-lock bag will work too.

I wouldn't get one at all...no PC port.
Just get an SB-28.

I already bought a sb600. I don't need a pc port because I am using it with my modern nikon, and I have a adapter. I also have a old metz flash for a manual camera.

I'm gonna buy a cord that allows me to use the TTL/Distance/Meter, ect functions of the Nikon+Speedlight combo.
Markok: What cord would that be? I'm interested in buying an SB-600 for my FM and D40, but would like to throw it off-camera with my FG if needed.
I have one, it's just called a TTL cord. It cost me like $14 on Amazon.
Marko, I have to ask...why an SB600 in the first place? All it really offers over the SB28/80 is compatibility with the digital Nikons.

SC-29 cord. The SB600 because it's newer, it has a warranty, and I just wanted a flash, and so I saw it in the store and got it. I quite like it.
If you really wanted to have a PC port. There is an adapter for that. I used one to conned an SB-800 to a Mamiya C330.
But really why would you want a PC port? Everyone knows Macs are much better!

Macs are PCs. 
Macs are PCs.
No, not really. "PCs" refers to IBM PCs and all their decedents.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, doesn't PC stand for "personal computer"? Didn't Apple used to use PowerPC processors? Don't they now use x86 Intel processors, just like many PCs?
Consider yourself corrected. A Mac is based on Unix and therefore is more reliable and more secures. This is reflected in fewer crashes because it was started from a system that was built for networking and internet. A PC was built originally as a desktop with no consideration for networking and internet. The PC grew by throwing on additions that were not properly system engineered. Think Windoz '95, Windoz '98, and the wonderful Vista operation system.
OK, enough computer stuff. Turn this thread back to PC connectors for strobes.

Mac is very loosely based on Unix...it recently gained unix certification for the first time, yet it still lacks many options that other unix OSs have. If anything, OS X is the prime example of how to make a bad Unix OS. Hell, its 64-bit support is worse than Vista's.
A Mac is still a personal computer. My computer in my den running Debian is a personal computer. The computer I set up running OS X for when I help friends with OS X problems is a personal computer. My main PC that runs Vista Ult. x64 is a PC. My servers in the basement are servers.
Also, OS X has all of the security issues as FreeBSD, yet it is much harder to fix the insecurities, and even worse it is primarily marketed towards computer illiterate people (then again so are Windows PCs, although with a good router/hardware firewall and a good AV Windows can be quite secure) who don't know how to secure an OS X system. The main problem I have with OS X is that it focuses on security through obscurity, and as such there are no decent AVs. I feel fine when I run my windows PCs in basic user accounts with a good AV like Nod32 or Kapersky, but I never feel at ease when using my OS X rig(s) because there are no good AVs. OS X's popularity is increasing, though, so hopefully a good AV will come out some time (especially since viruses are starting to target it http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008...-x-trojan-and-backdoor-tool-are-on-the-loose/ ). Stuff like that just pushes me to Vista and more obscure Unix OSs (I love Debian with x and OpenBSD), because I can more actively protect myself from attacks.
So, in my opinion...OS X is less secure than Vista, if you know what you're doing.
