Hi net land, well, I waited for the IIcx and here it is.  A local
Apple discounter has a "special" on rodime 100 meg external drives
($999).  Is this a deal?  Are they reliable?  They come with a 1 year
warranty.  Are they noisy?  Do they do A/UX?  How do they compare with
a Quantum 80 meg external (slightly faster I believe), and how will
they hold up to being hauled around from place to place (the reason I
am choosing an external is 'cause I want an easy way to transfer
data).  Any advice on a bag (a la la cie)?

As usual, all advice is appreciated.  (I'll post a summary of
interesting info).

Happy mac-ing,
Dave
