        The prices you give are outrageous compared to deals I've
seen.
        I'm seeing INCREDIBLE deals in the paper lately. I saw a 120
meg SCSI drive for about $800.
        But I think I'm gonna get either the removable CARTRIDGE drive (45
megs/cartridge) or the high capacity FLOPPY drive (20 megs/floppy...each
floppy costs $10).
        I want something REMOVABLE so I don't have to back up to floppies.
	Unless you want to get ripped off, don't buy those drives. Or
I guess you could consider it paying for a name or other things.
