djohn Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Maxtor 40GB 7200 RPM with 2MB cache.One year old and in full working order. Sale due to me buying two new 80 GB Maxtor'sAll I want is for the buyer to cover the postage cost of about £5.00 plus make a reasonable donation direct to Craig toward the running cost of the forum, say £20.00 if that is OK with everyone. Please reply to this thread if interested.John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted October 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Sorry guys, I left the thread open all day, but no one seems to need this drive at the moment and one of my neighbours has bitten my hand off at the price. The drive is still current and the retail version, [which this is] is selling at £50.00.My neighbour is not too well off financially, so I've decided to let him have it.I will offer some Microsoft software shortly and hope that someone will be able to make use of it. The same will apply, postage to me and a donation to the forum.Regards to all J. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Thanks for the offer Djohn. I'm glad your neighbour will be able to make good use of it.I must admit that I ummed and ahhed. But didn't want to snap the drive up when perhaps there might have been someone else who would like it.Perhaps we could have a bit of an auction style thing in future.... updates now and then... like, 'any takers?' No-one has said anything yet'. That sort of thing. Then at least we would have an idea if anyone was interested or not!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grim Reaper Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 i installed one at the weekend, the performance jump from my seagate 5400rpm was incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted October 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 The really sad part of this story is that one of the forum members did contact me for details last night and I mailed them back, but did not hear anything for over three hours, That's when my neighbour said that he would really like to have it, it was now well past midnight, so gave it to him for the £5.00Then I received an email today saying he wanted the drive, couldn't get back to me last night because he had a power cut. I felt really bad about it, but he has contacted me to say he's managed to get one. I feel better about that now. j. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
