80685 2002-09-20 03:47:00 Hey J Zep,

I just did a little research at pricespy.co.nz
There is typically $50 difference between a 60 gig and an comparable 80 gig HDD

I can tell that you are likely to need all the storage you can get, and i thought i should throw that information at you now yer all settled on what you want to get!

80687 2002-09-20 05:06:00 Thanks Chris, yeah i noticed last night with my price's there was only a $20 difference between a Seagate 60gb ATA 100 7200rpm and a Seagate 80gb ATA 100 7200rpm - so that kinda sealed the deal on going for the 80gb - oh and i get a 2.5% discount for buying there too.

uhhum - sorry to be the one to tell you greg :^O - do i really sound that much like a male :O (does sound like a guys name tho, put that down to the other half choosing it for me)

Thanks Gorela, Chris is organising me a set (I think that he is slowly trying to convert all PressF1 users to linux!)

I see that at DrFloppy you can buy a 1m Linux inflatable Penquin for $42.95 :D

J ZEP - my apologies for sneaking a OT thread to your post :8}
