I seek advice.
Dear wise flist:
I need to buy myself an external hardrive. Something in the neighborhood of 80GB. Who/what do you recommend and why? How much should I expect to depart with?
On a scale of zero to so weird, how strange is it that I love watching The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy specifically for the fights in the apartments? I mean the fights themselves are chorographed beautifully, but mostly I just like looking at the apartments (especially the one in Paris). I can pretty much stop watching after I see the apartments.

I've been extremely happy with my Apricorn drive. I like how easy it was to set up, the fact that it came with some nifty backup software, and that it has an internal fan to keep the drive cool. Also, it's on PC World's list of Top 10 external drives (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,123728-page,1/article.html). I did a little research before I bought.
Good shopping resources are Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=414&name=External-Hard-Drives) and ZipZoomFly (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductList3.jsp), and cNet (http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-3186_7-0.html?filter=503164_11795436_&tag=brdcrmb), all of which you can shop by price or features, and read customer reviews.
Happy shopping! Let me know if you have any questions.
