[AT] OK boys, I need help!! OT Computer stuff

[Larry D. Goss]

There are still some around, Mark.  At the Micro Center and CompUSA in
Atlanta this week, I found 40, 60, 80, 120, 160, 200, 250, and 300
Gigabyte drives in stock and on the shelves.  In most cases, both stores
had multiple brands, and you had a choice of either internal or external
drives.  They also had enclosures with power supplies and cables
available for converting internal to external.  In every case, you could
save around $40 by purchasing an internal drive and an enclosure rather
than by buying an external drive that was preassembled.

80 gig because you'll be hard pressed to find a smaller one for sale
today.
You can buy an 80 gig for about $60 right now.
