[lug] Slightly off topic - 1TB hard drive $100

[David Howland]

Tigerdirect has a 1TB Seagate Barrcuda for 10$ more on sale ending 11/23
I wouldn't recommend a "green" drive to a client but I have friends
that hardly need performance out of their machines and the "green"
drives would be worth the 10$ price cut to them.
