I need a bunch of cheap hard drives for some Mac Pluses. I recently saw an ad (well, I believe that I did!), for new Western Digital 20 MB Preference (brand) external hard drives for $199. However, I've been unable to find the ad again. Did anyone else see it, who remembers where it was? Or, if you know of a source of good, cheap hard drives, drop me a line. Thanks! -- steve.ligett@dartmouth.edu or ...!dartvax!steve.ligett

Sorry, I don't know their number off the top of my head. However, I seem to fuzzily recall the price being a little bit higher than $199. -- | Paul E.
