Pretty much the same in the easy/hard category. I can wholeheartedly recommend both Quantum and Connor, but stay away from Maxtor and Seagate.= The lower meg Seagates have been notorious for running real hot, and Maxtors have been known to corrupt directories and partitions without warning. A friend of mine had CMD-100s with Maxtors that had to be sent back to CM= D twice before they installed a Western Digital. By the way, Seagate now owns Connor. I hope they learn how to build a decent hard drive from them. > >- Paul MacArthur Richard T. Cunningham (a.k.a.
