Hi, I am currently in the process of buying a IIci and was thinking about monitors and hard drives. First, does anyone know anything about NEC's multisync HC? Is it a comparable monitor to apple's or other vendors? Will it be able to be directly plugged into the IIci's video port? Second, does anyone know anything about Fujitsu hard drives? Why are they so much cheaper than same size drives from other companies? I saw an 185mb internal half height drive advertised for $600. Are these drives reliable? More or less are they any good? Thanks in advance, Scott

Quantum 105s (the half-heights, not the third-heights) are available from APS (a highly regarded mail order vendor) for under $400 (internal). They're also advertising a 340Mb Maxtor for $1100 (3 1/2, half-height, internal). The HD market has been constantly on the move--downward--for six months or so. --Carl Alexander | BCS*Mac News Editor, The Active Window | The Boston Computer Society cjeff@silver.lcs.mit.edu | Macintosh Users Group
