think hard on that external drive $69 for 160gb is nothing to sneeze
at. The Maxtor drives are decent enough, I've been flogging the snot
out of the 100gb model for a good year now, I think it is a good value
for the $. The only problem is that it's formatted NTFS-something
easily solved with a program like Super FDisk.

I can't vouch for Maxtor - I bought an 80GB drive back in the day, and
it died horrbly before a few months were up. I got it replaced under
RMA - and that one barely lasted three years.

I've usually had good luck with Maxtor, so I can't complain.
