              That's what credit cards are for man, gotta float it

              Hell, even paying interest on the full amount of the drive for a month, you'd probably still come out ahead.

                    Prices are falling. Most 200GB/7200/8 are in for about 100-110 EUR now.

                            Yeah, I think that just has to do with Utah's crazy laws, written to make life easier for Mormons. Mormons technically can't shop on Sunday, so I think this is so that they aren't "cheated" out of a day of the sale.

                              You are probably more right than you know, Wombat!

                              @NuGGeTTi: I know at least Ajax, Ozbreeze, Byock and myself are from Utah. Not sure of anyone else on here....
