[BC] Comparing computers & parts

[r j carpenter]

Over the years I've had three (I think) hard disk failures on desktop 
machines.  The first was a small Seagate.

Since then I have had two HD failures, both Western Digital.  I still 
have a 2 Gby HD they furnished under warranty.   WILLIE: DO YOU WANT THE 
2 GBY HD, NEVER USED? (free)

Oh, and I did have a failure of a Toshiba HD in my two-year-old HP 
laptop a year ago.
