After Maxtor opened an office in Sydney last year, we all witnessed a
price war on hard disks. I heard afew weeks ago that Westan the
distributor for Western Digital was out of stock and it would take them
a while berfore they could get some stock. Now I guess if you take a
big supplier out of market you'll get a shortage, which might take the
prices up a bit. (Very sad; I quite liked the prices coming down, despite
the fact that I paid $600 for a 200MB drive in Jan93 :-( )
