    I remember when I used to look at 250Mb drives as potentially unreliable because they were just so damn huge. And now I have a 250Gb drive. It's so cool checking the "install everything including the kitchen sink" option when installing VS.NET, MSDN and Office. Load me up, baby. Slowly, slowly, getting myself sorted down here. Still not used to the toilets flushing the wrong way though :P cheers, Chris Maunder [edit: OK, OK - I spelled terabyte wrong. Always have, always will ;) ]

      Atari 400? I think mine had 4k of RAM... My first 20mb hard drive cost me over $700, and my friends thought I was nuts for buying somethign with so much space available on it... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast.

              The final step to geekdom is to get a third 250GB drive, and then write your own RAID driver...

Since he seems to have moved back for the time being to Melbourne, maybe we should have a drinking trip down south looking for him. I also can't see the reason for him getting a 250GB drive. I can get a 200GB drive for $170 while a 250GB drive costs $270. Doesn't seem financially intelligent to me. Also should I tell you or him about the 120GB and 200GB in my computer, plus the 200GB in a removable draw or the 200GB USB2/FireWire drive?
