- Did anyone read the 'Upgrading your System' article in Sept. 1992
- issue of PC WORLD. The author claims the Maxtor drive can be had for
- a street price of $250. Is he on drugs? Considering that the article
- must have been written 2-3 months ago, did he really mean $550 or
- $650?
-
- I paid $499 for mine in June and thought I got a good deal. Now I see
- places selling them for $470 and $459, but I still believe I got a
- good deal *at the time*. I can't believe that 2-3 months ago, even $450
- would have been attainable on the street.
-
- This must be a typo or editing error, right?
