I've gotten the non-VIP treatment from Best Buy and Dell recently.  They 
gave me the runaround on big hard drives and I ended up with a couple 
comps with half a terabyte each for the last four yrs.  Maybe I will 
look into wired external hard drives for a bit, since that could be 
good.  I wonder what the data rate is like for those.
