So tell us, Chuqui, how much did you get for your 400K external?  around here
they seem to be usable mainly as doorstops.  There's been one listed in our
local (Madison, Wisconsin) paper for over two weeks.

Who bought or would buy a 400K external?  (I know, someone who isn't upgrading
to an Enhanced or Plus; where do/did you find them)
