... Things came together today - I was in Grand Rapids to pick up my repaired M 50 f 4 macro and drove down the commercial strip on the way back to see if I could find a good deal on some external drives. I stopped at a store with a major going out of business sale well under way - the store was down to about 1/10th it's normal size, the fixtures and even their holiday decorations were out with price tags on them. So were Seagate 500mm external drives - "marked down" to $275... People were snapping them up... OK - on to Best Buy across the street and they had a couple 500 gig WD "My Book" essentials (USB 2.0 only) for $140 each - as good as any price I could fine on the net. Plus they are cute in that they look like books - except that the spine has a glowing circle on the back and the power / usb cables look like tentacles coming out of the pages. OK - cute as in "devil books from hell" cute. But now I have a pair of external drives, so the slow process of copying DVD's and CD's has begun... - MCC -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
