Brilliant no e-mail address included, oh dear.

I recently went to the Computer Shopper Show at Wembley, England.

And there I spotted my dream come true, a 42Mb Hard Drive at an
incredible price of only $(English)299.99, it was a Power Drive
9000 series.

Bit big and noisy, but generally nice.

I understand that this was a stock clearance price, but there may
be more available.

Hope this helps,


Andrew Thompson
