[SunRescue] hard drives and memory

[KenHansenn2vip at bellatlantic.net]

Agree with Gregory - I just got a $59 4 Gig Baracuda drive
from HiTechCafe, total out-of-pocket, $70.

I'm happy with the deal, but that is a lot of shipping/handling...

(But, they did throw in a small assortment of Jelly Belly jelly
beans!)
