Lol, way too much $$$?! Duncan, did you miss my other post where I mentioned that the last computer I bought was from *December 2004*?! And all I've done to upgrade it was replace the Radeon X800XT in it with a Radeon 4830 that I got for $80 on sale last year?!
Now I'm not saying you're wrong about that (i.e., don't ask me how much I spend on scotch!) but lol, not sure where you got the idea I have way too much $$ just from asking about SCSI below! :P And if there's anyone not keeping up with the times on this list besides you, it's most likely me! ;) BINO P.S. So no comment on my using "bee's knees" in my post?! I thought you would've appreciated that! ;) > Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:04:03 -0400 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [H] SCSI (was RE: Old Floppy Drives) > > NO.
