             Is there a reasonably priced hard drive for your home
         computer?

I wouldn't pay more than about $250 US for a 20 meg drive... 'course,
I'm talking a slower seagate drive and controller, but then for my
home system, it's plenty fast enough.  $600 seems a bit high anyway,
because for $500 I'd expect a 40 Meg seagate with controller. Are
things that much higher outside of silicon valley?
