I agree with everything that Michael says except the 40mb
HD. According to my friend Larry Byer (who lives and breathes HDs),
the smaller HDs are of older technology and are destined to fail in a
'short' timeframe. Accorcing to Larry, the newer drives, "just don't
fail at anywhere the rate the older ones did." One needs to think in
the 120Mb and up range to get the newer technology drives.

Hope this helps,
