I really could not say.
I know of the manufacturer and think they make decent stuff but I guess it's all about what you are prepared to pay for portability. I think the price per gig is way too steep personally. You can get a 750gb external drive for that and granted it's the size of a hefty book and weighs a lot more but it will go in a briefcase or a manbag no problem. I'm pretty sure Freecom do a 320gb pocket for about £60. I'd suggest he searches the web for reviews about durability because most of these won't take being dropped a lot.

Various suppliers
are doing 1.5 Tb drives now, for ridiculous prices.

Yeah.
Not so many as externals. I was just trying to equate the price to an external. If he was to spend the money on an internal he'd easily find 1TB for that cash.

Yeah.
if he can live without sticking it in his pocket then I can recommend this. I have 4 of them and 3 of the previous 320gb models ( which I pad about a fiver more than the current 500gb price just over 12 months ago )

One of my friends is in his fanclub and goes to the pub with him sometimes, and apparently there's this girl who flies out from Australia to deliberately stalk him.

She was at Edinburgh!
She sat next to us, clutching her signed canvas bag. apparently she's seen him about 50-odd times or more. We mentioned we'd chatted to Tim in the bar before the show and she actually looked like she might stab us.

Basically I dossed around on my lonesome all day. And instead of doing anything constructive on a day off - I did shit all. HURRAY FOR ME!
My buddy saw Tim the other day, ashually. He's a little too singy a little not enough talky for me.

i can't quite track it down for sure using internets
but it was a real headline, either in the mirror or express
i think it's either from around the release of the first manhunt game in around 2003-4, or it's really old and was used to call for the ban of child's play 3 after the jamie bulger killing

There were some awesome macaws at the jungle lodge I stayed at. One was called Gladiator, and he would hide by the window in the toilet at night where you couldn't see him, then wait for you to start peeing and shout OLA!
