Also, one doesn't need to worry about an external drive not working with an upgrade because it doesn't fit inside the (possibly) new case. Now, don't take me me wrong and think this is an argument aganst internal hard drives. These are just considerations one has to make when buying a hard drive. As a matter of fact, if an internal drive had been available when I was shopping for my hard drive, I would have bought it. > Ken. > ken-b@uiuc.edu -- ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________ ARPA: lunatic@uscsb.UCSC.EDU / ________/ Internet: lunatic%ucscb@ucscc.edu / ____// _ ___ _ UUCP: ...!ucscc!ucscb!lunatic / ___///__ {_} |\| /-\ | ][ {_ GEnie: L.BRUCE (Lunatic Bruce) / __________________________________________________________________/ (:
