Went shopping at CompUSA today.

Same old 38th & 5th Ave location as usual. Busy like hell with only 2 cashiers open. Welcome to NY.

Anyway, I bought a 40x UDMA IDE Hi-Val CD-Rom for only $39 (the sign said $49, and I didn't complain when it rang up as only $39). I'm gonna slap this baby into the computer I'm building. While I was there, I noticed palletes of Zip product, but no one had any Zip products in hand while walking around, and no one was in the Zip section. The entrance to the store has always been a Zip display, but it looked neat and in order. No boxes were missing to break up the nice neat rows. Remember, this is NY we're talking about, so if the shelves were being picked over, they'd stay that way for awhile.

While I was upstairs picking out my CD-Rom, I noticed that the CD-R/W aisle was particularly busy, with the most unlikely-looking people picking out CD-R/W burners at a steady pace. These were not computer-geek types. These were the types that used to buy Zip and Jaz. The CD-R blank disk shelf was all picked over and in disarray-- the way Zip shelves USED to be.

My next decision is what type of SCSI card to buy for my self-made computer. Any suggestions? I don't really need Ultra-SCSi3 (read cheap is cool).
