- I think a 120M IDE would be more like #200 pounds. I've even
- seen some at #1 = 1M.
- BTW, the price diff between SCSI and IDE for the same drive
- seems to be about 10 quid on a 200M drive.
-
- RAM is around #25 a M, so around #100 for 4M.

- More like #1100.

- Silly question really, of course you go for it. Sell your car if you
- can't afford it, or get a bank loan. Interest rates are around 7 per
- cent aren't they?
