    How long till SB laptops?

    I was wandering around Best Buy and noticed that a good portion of their current laptops are on clearance. I just didn't know if we would have days or months before we started seeing something.

    I am looking at a RD1000 drive with 640gb hard disk cartridges. It seems to be a fairly cheap and effective solution. What do you think? Have you heard anything bad about them?
