	what Saiid forgot to mention is that Newbury went out of (US-business)
	nearly 6 months ago and this drive model was sold then for $1095
	in a clearance sale (without case, power-supply or software),
	that getting this drive model to work with a Mac has been a most
	frustrating experience, and that getting maintenance for it has
	been driving Saiid up the wall for months.

	you did mean to mention these facts to any potential buyer,
	right, Saiid?   well, I'm sure you don't mind then ....

	by the way, I have one of those drives (as well as the faster
	and more expensive 4380) and I consider both them questionable
	buys by now ...  they are noisy, consume too much power, are rather
	temperature-sensitive, and the warranty and continued support is
	more than questionable, it seems ...
