I paid $400 for a 40MB HDD once, by mail order!.............& I thought I was getting a great deal!..............Is Computer Shopper still around?............

Yep Computer Shopper is still around but it went from that mammoth 300+ page monthly computer bible, to a thinner than PC Magazine pamphlet like magazine now. I used to subscribe to it in the mid 90's prior to me getting my feet wet with PC's. Took me a year to decide what I wanted. At the time Pentium I's rated at 90mhz were the top dog, and I waited it out until the 233's came around and of course I went agauinst the grain with AMD, as I didn't want to support the 800 pound gorilla (Intel)
