[conspire] Replacement Computer Was: 3rd Master Hard Disk Error

 Costco can be a good place to buy a computer.  Instead of searching for info on the internal details, you can just take it home and see if it works for your particular purposes, software, add-ons.  Just keep the packaging and receipt and watch the calendar.
On the other hand, things come and go.  What are the chances that I could find the USB memory if I went there tomorrow?  For that matter, different stores have different items in stock or not.

 We have to remember that the physics for all hard drives even before there were 8" floppy disks was oxides of iron and similar metals.
The memory hierarchy concept continues.  $100 can buy:
*  16 GB DDR4
*  500GB USB 3.1
*  2TB HDD with 128MB cache SATA

Also, 8GB RAM is "typical" for laptops on the market today.
