The antistatic shielding back in which the drive came had a label attached that said something WD200EB, which is the 20 GB drive. However, I don't know why nobody looked through the shielding back, because the label on the drive clearly says WD600AB. So probably the retailer has received a whole lot of 60 GB discs that are labelled 20 GB from whatever source provides them the stuff they sell. And by the way, I was a little disappointed to note that the graphics card that I also got with this delivery was actually the cheap 8 MB thing I ordered. They could have been so kind and shipped me a 32 MB thing or similar ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * nils@tisys.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
