Thanks for the link... I've known about these folks for a while, but am currently not looking for notebook hard drives, myself. My problem is batteries - I've got two notebook computers for which I'm saving up for replacement battery packs. They work fine off the wall outlet, but the batteries last for ten minutes or so, then the batteries fail - old Ni-Cd batteries, which were abused before I got ownership of the (used) notebooks.
