	No crap the drives are cheaper!

	At the Fry's sale that I bought a harddrive at yesterday (more
details and problems in an earlier post), they had IBM (i.e. clone)
drives up the wazoo, and I think that lots of them were going for $10..
And I -think- that might be for 360K drives, but I don't remember
for sure.. Even if that is the case, the 720K drives were very cheap also..
(And most everything had warranties too! A 360K drive for $10. DAMN!)
