Fellas&Gals,
I took the predominate suggestions and I purchased a 160 gig Seagate
drive from Best Buy for $109, included $60 in-store rebate.  Now my
monitor is starting to give me fits.  Me thinks it's the vertical hold
or sync?  It gets narrow and tall.  I don't think a spiffy flat screen
is bright or clear enough for me.  I had diabetic retinopathy laser
treatments in both eyes 25 years ago and it left me 2 stops down on the
light seen by my retinas.  Right now I have a Sylvania F76 17" that is
OK.  The reason I specify Best Buy, that's where my gift certificate is.
I trust y'all's judgement.  Thanks.
Bob
