Hi folks, well, this tis totally off-topic and has little to do with FreeBSD, but I guess you are prepared to take such things if you are subscribed to -chat. So, without further ado, let me tell you an interesting story that happened here lately: Last week, I noticed the hard disk in my dial-up router was slowly dying on me. It's been in there for four years, up and running all day long, but seems that it desperately wanted to be replaced. In order to get it replaced, I went to the online store of ComputerUniverse.net and ordered one of the cheapest discs they had available: A Western Digital Protege 20 GB disc. This is one of WD's low-end discs, but I really didn't worry much about performance. The price, 205 DM (about $100) seemed fine too! Well, today I received the package in the mail. When I opened it up, I was really surprised! What I found in there was not the WD Protege 20 GB I had ordered, but a WD Caviar 60 GB disc! Quickly, I checked the invoice, and found out that I had indeed only been billed the 205 DM for the 20 GB disc. Of course the very next thng I did was check out the price of the 60 GB thing. It's 365 DM, so I got it for 160 DM (about $80) less! Well, such a things have never happened to me before, but I wouldn't mind if they repeat in the future. Of course, I'm going to keep my mouth shut, otherwise the folks at ComputerUniverse.net might want to have the nice HD back...
