Dear So and So

[Eden]

Eek! I've pretty much always used B&H for camera stuff. Thanks for letting us know!

Yeah - I get stuff from B&H too, never any problems ordering from them - unfortunately they don't have any of the smaller drive ones.... they do have the 120GB at the same price Amazon does, so maybe I'll just go with them.

It's not that I don't know that there are a lot of less than reputable electronics/camera goods dealers in Brooklyn....but really, I figured this thing would be relatively safe... it wasn't actually a smoking deal or anything as far as value for the money the new ones are probably actually a bit better, but even the smallest one now has so much more hard drive space that they automatically start at a higher price... it's not an item that you can really up-sell, there aren't (as far I as I know) gray market versions of it... geeze... how wrong can you be...

Sigh.... I didn't really want to to spend $300 on this, when the 40GB drive would do just fine.... I could just chuck it all and buy some more CF cards. One of the reasons that I was going with the drive was that it worked out to be about the same amount of $$ GB per GB as buying (cheap) CF cards and I could use it to show photographs. I do need something though. I'm going away for a whole month and I'm not taking a computer...
