Re: Hard Drive Dealssaid by Gone:said by elwoodblues:I would, remember those POS drives Kalok? (youtube clip) speaking, every hard drive from that era was unreliable. No, i had conner drives, Seagate and WD's never had the failure rate the Kaloks had. |

I used to make a killing on those things, call up everyone who bought a computer from me at Christmas to tell them at $1,099 a 40mb hard drive was on sale. |

While we're being nostalgic. How about an Apple Profile? a 5 or 10mb full height Shugart hard drive inside. |

Like this: » www.digibarn.com/friends ··· dex.htmlwhen those heads crashed there was no doubt with the noise they made. |

We'd probably be worse off. Ever tried to use one of their business copiers today? Sheesh! Talk about a bloated, incomprehensible mess! I get better results with an HP multifunction printer! |
