> I am considering upgrading to the Quantum Bigfoot 12GB hard drive.

   Well, myself, I am not a fan of Quantum drives.  The BigFoot is a neat idea
-- large storage capacity, not too great performance, good price -- but overall
I've seen a lot of Quantum failures.  The other thing that amazes me about
Quantums is that they seem to run hot -- make sure you buy a second fan unit or
one of the new drive fans if you purchase one.  Still, my advice would be to
look for something else unless it is a deal you cannot refuse.
