Craig, *OT*

Actually I've been quite busy. Trying to figure out just what I want to do. Thinking of doing the 'startup thing'. Got some good people around and want to strike while the iron is hot as they say. This whole thing was set off by my inability to get a damned green card to head stateside (grumble, whine, etc.).. blasted stubborn me (don't have a post-secondary <G>)..

As for investing, I haven't been up to much at all.. private MSG me and we can go into some details of miscellaneous stuff.. (no point cluttering this busy thread!)

.. I was just welcoming some fresh blood with a short message here and a long private note.

I saw that public message before you edited it..

Steve

Craig,

So what do you think of the latest Maxtor drives? The one I got has internal transfer rate of some 249Mbs. Not bad considering the IBM drive I was considering, with only about 170Mbs.

The price difference was fairly small: $179 for IBM 10GB, 5400rpm, $212 for Maxtor 10GB, 7200rpm. The power consumption seemed similar, but I couldn't find IBM's noise level to make a comparison.
