Hard Drive Prices Hitting New Lows

Lucas123 writes "The average price of notebook hard drives tumbled to $53 in the third quarter of 2007, from $86 in the same period during the previous year, according to a survey by a market research firm. The price drop can be accredited to competition among six vendors, enormous demand for PCs and consumer electronics as well as evolving flash memory drives. 'Lower-capacity notebook drives showed smaller price drops, while newer high-capacity drives saw massive price drops ... Notebook drives with 320GB of storage will drop as a result of the addition of new features, while prices will stabilize on lower-capacity notebook storage devices like 80GB hard drives.'"

Clinton remains unelectable.

Which Clinton, the one that was elected to president twice, or the one that is currently serving in the elected office of Senator? Either way, the "unelectable" has been elected. Unless you meant Chelsea Clinton.
