Don't they make SATA to IDE converters for under $3

China?
I don't know; I've never really looked. If I could buy such a
converter at the local brick-and-mortar the same way, at the same time
as, I buy the drive? Then you might have a point. Otherwise, at the
very least it's raised the bar substantially.
I dunno Mouse. You and I usually agree on this sort of thing, but
this time I have to disagree. It's a whole lot easier to to sit here in
my underwear at 4AM, click on a listing and have it show up at my door a
week later...in the meantime I can get back to doing real work, and not
have to deal with the "duhhhhhhhhhhhhh" of the mouth-breathers who work
retail these days.
Brick-and-mortar stores are WAY overrated. (and dying)
