Post by: TheVirtu on June 09, 2002, 01:05:42 pm: Think of it this way

If you worked at Microsoft you could buy it in: 2 years
If you worked for THQ you could buy it in: 15 years (of course it would take time to get to a store after you have long term therapy for playing Britney Spears Dance Moves)
If you worked for Mike Tyson, you would just bust up a guy with it and steal it.
If you work for McDonalds: 10 years
If you work at Walmart: You have one creative mind.

Post by: Vertigo1 on June 10, 2002, 12:59:41 am: Yeah, its a nice drive...just one problem. The lowest price I've seen for one is nearly 4x higher than a SCSI drive with 1/4 the space.

A london parking meter earns more per hour than Macdonalds staff... But what would a parking meter do with a near indestructable hard disk?
Maybee i should be a parking meter...

Post by: Stealth on June 10, 2002, 03:50:53 pm: yeah, good one MD...

this thing can be encased in a block of ice, and surpass temperatures that would kill humans... it can erase everything in seconds, and has an incredibly fast seek time, but what happens if someone pulls the plug on this thing?

?

Post by: Corhellion on June 12, 2002, 08:26:32 pm: *opens up wallet...moth flutters out of it*

damn....maybe in a few months they'll drop the price, like X-box, was $400+ now $299, meh go figure.

Wonder what would happen if it got dropped or got hit with a bolt of lightning? OR if you had a sudden rush of rage that you smashed it with a sledge hammer?.....wonder if FS2 can load onto it?

It ain't worth crap if FS2 can't be put on to it!

Well, that's my 2 cents worth.
