I'm looking to get myself a hard disk :-) I figure that 80 Meg is a good place to start since a buddy of mine filled a new 50 Meg drive in 4 weeks. The two brands I've heard the most about are CMS and Jasmine. Everyone says Jasmine is the GREATEST, but it seems to run ~$250 more than CMS. They say Jasmine is FAST. How fast? How much faster than CMS? Also, I've heard that Jasmine 80 Meg = 77 Desktop Meg, while CMS 80 Meg = 84 Desktop. Is this true? Am I comparing oranges and pears? (Apples are out of my price range :-( ) Am I ignoring some other better drive? If all things are equal I'll buy CMS, though I hear it looks a little like a shrunken IBM-PC and I hesitate to put my Mac on it. :-) I welcome some input. advTHANKSance Rob Verbrugghe g-verbru@gumby.cs.wisc.edu Disclaimer: No one listens to me anyway.
