Actually,  I was looking online a bit ago and there seem to be some really
good deals on 60GB units...

Well,  lucky for me there appear to be a number of stores in each of
several chains within what I'd consider a reasonable driving distance,  so
I can just call around and see who's got 'em.  For OfficeMax, Staples,  and
maybe OfficeDepot.  Best Buy is relatively new here,  they only have one
store in the area.
