RJT>JE> Can't beat that if 40 Gb will do you.

RJT>If not,  maybe I'll have to get more than one.  

RJT>That's not bad,  though I'm rather reluctant to play the rebate

i've had excellent results with the rebate offers - from CompUSA, Best
Buy, Office Depot, and Office Max. Every once in a while I procrastinate
and get there too late - sold out, but that's my fault.
