Thanks, Dave. I thought you were being funny, but I mis-typed. Its 400
GB!

It wasn't funny about 10 to 12 years ago when there were HD's of less
than 500 MB and which ran into the Cylinder 1024 problems.

Yes, and by my calculation, my 400 GB would have cost me $400,000 back
when I bought my first 500 MB drive!
