David,

	Someone much smart than me on this list taught me this trick:

	Zip tie the old brackets to the new thinner hard drive just where 
they would go if the holes actually lined up (same position as the 
thicker older drive you are replacing).  Then stick that drive in the 
machine and enjoy you new bigger hard drive.  My 2300 has a ten gig hard 
drive installed this way and it has survived for a couple of years 
including a hard three foot drop to a carpetted floor.  Others on the 
list have done the same without difficulties.

Cool cheap trick ;-).

cheers,

Randy

These words that I and others have attributed to Julius Caesar are not 
his:

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the 
citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a 
double-edged sword. It emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. 
And when the drums of war have reached fever pitch, and the blood boils 
with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need to seize 
the rights of liberty. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and 
blinded by patriotism, will offer up their rights unto the leader, and 
gladly so."
