Well he is a bad one then.

LOL :)

I think his nick is an attempt at the word 'Mystery'.

If not I want to point out the there should be a full stop after 'Mr'.


MrE --> Just messing with you. :)

I was @Makro the weekend to buy booze, I saw the Trekstor external HDD with a 250gb hdd, 2 usb hub and 11 in 1 card reader for R400. Just could not let this bargain pass me by. I ended up spending 1k there, the rest was on booze, they had a hugh sale on booze.

R400 - are you kidding me. That is for nothing.

The Samsung is better.. check out the Fujitsu/Siemens monitor's stats here... 1000:1 contrast ration and 5ms response time.
The Samsung has a 2ms response time and 3000:1 contrast ratio..besides it looks better..

Do you want to spend your next few computing years looking at this:

or do you want to spend it looking at this:

Typical salesman? No woman in the Siemens?

Did u have the booze 1st ..? :). The trekstor 250gb now R1799

http://www.makro.co.za/ProductDetail.aspx?cat=-1&prod=39136&SKU=000000000000132737|EA

But a cool buy is probably the 400gb lan drive

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that price either, R400. Hard to believe but true. I'll see if I can scan the till slip and post it for those that don't believe me.

Hehe. We would love it to be the case! Was there only one left? Was it damaged at all? Which Makro did you go to? I'd get like three at that price!

There was one on display, which I was suppose to get, but the salesman found a sealed one for me, with one year warrenty. I'm going there tomorrow again to check if they have more, then I will buy another one and sell it and make a profit. Sell it for double the price then I can say I got my one for nothing.lol:D

I see. That seems crazy to me. That is like a third of what it should be going for! Good luck man :)

Go to Makro in Ottery or phone the Audio manager @ Makro and ask him if they have a 250gb Trekstor external HDD for R400.:)
They may have more at that price. You'll never know.

Sorry, but howe heat of the moment, i can't pass this by. There shouldn't be a period after "Mr" as it starts and ends with the same letters as the original word. :)
