Hmm... maybe the $200 is in relation to the pain is his butt... :Q
joking...
I've formatted my 40gig about 7 times already. First I had 98, then tried to load linux, linux -> 98 dual boot... etc. Pain in the butt is right. All I need now is my damn network card to come in the mail, so I can download the updates to X, and get my computer online again

.
So what does the $200 represent? Your paycheck or something?
