Is it needed to have a hard drive? I just started in the computing world and am thinking of getting a HD for my A500, but everything keeps talking about controllers and I don't know what they are, obviously, that is why I am posting here. Call me stupid, call me a retard, but I needed a few questions answered before I went out and spent my money. Thanks in advance. -SS- No flames posted please, send to: Shawn Sites ID: inde5i6@jetson.uh.edu
