Shangara I think you'll find that Andreas Heumann wrote the above, not myself :-) Presumably he bought more than one. > Blimey! That is a bargain.

I'm sorry if the direct link did not work, I simply dragged it from the browser. Apples store is not difficult to navigate though. Hard drives are found under Accessories/Hard Drives & Storage. Hardly a magical page, just a regular one, still available today. > Apple �649.00 This price INCLUDES VAT and free shipping. Price to most photographers, who should be VAT registered is �552 > Dabs �656.82 This is for the FireWire 400 version. The FW800 version is listed at �609 + VAT = �809.57 That's �160 more than the Apple price. Dabs also charges a handling fee (though small). I think you'll find that's what most people would call a bargain. > pcworld.pricegrabber.com $783.79 (PageComputer ) That�s around �490 (using a 1.6 dollar exchange rate). However. This is for the FW400 version. The FW800 version is listed at $874.31 USD. That works out as �744. > It seems much cheaper in the States. The above includes shipping and tax! I think you'll find that, that is nearly �100 more than Apple's price. I don't mind being corrected if there was an error on my part. But there was not. Please get your facts straight before, correcting my posts. Kind regards Paul PS - I'm sorry if my post seems harsh, but your post left me with the feeling, that you were trying to ridicule me. I don't like that feeling, and will always defend myself. This is a widely read forum, and if left unanswered, people reading your post could have gotten the opinion, that I had "talked bollocks". I had not. I was trying to help people save some money, if they were in the market for a Hard Drive. I saved Andreas �600.
