	As my IIci's 80mb drive is approaching 99% full, I am now
	considering getting an external hard drive.

	Then I saw this ad in MacUser.  It sounded like a pretty
	good deal to me.

		105mb Quantum 19ms  $399 external.

	Now, a few questions.

	1. Are these POWERDrives reliable?  I was afraid that there
		might be a catch.

	2. I noticed that the 80mb quantum drive with same specs
		cost $40 more than the 105mb.  Why?

	3. And, had anyone seen and would recommend some other deals
		that would do me better?


	Thanks in advance.
