Dean,
Thanks for the information.
I've seen the 5400 rpm Toshibas (www.transintl.com) and wonder how they
compare with the IBM's. Anyone have any wxperience with these?
I've got 768 Mgs of RAM, I just need more space for all my junk!
Can't believe how just a few years ago I thought I had a huge hard drive
when I upgraded an old PPC to 1Gig! Now 20 Gigs is not enough!

Cheers
