The buddy I am talking about was going through a circular that looked
like it came from today's paper.  I do not have a copy at hand and the
buddy was moving offices...
There are many other neat things like 60GB USB drives for cheap, and
40GB drives for IIRC $0 after rebate and very cheap 120GB IDE drives.
I actually need a new drive for my current system as well, too bad this
was not next weekend (or last weekend) when I had more money. (rent this
week :P )
