A boneheaded move

When I noticed that my computer is getting low on disk space, I figured there was just extra junk that could be eliminated. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that, really, there's not that much left. (I have 2 40GB drives.) Between Winblows XP itself, Mrs. Dallas' music CD projects, digital photos, ripped music, etc. etc. etc., we're down to about 9GB.

So, no sweat, order another drive, they're cheap. Hmmmm let's just head over to newegg and pick out something... oooooo SHINY 120GB for $84. Let's hit that.

Since I got an email yesterday that it had shipped, I thought I'd check the tracking. And noticed that it's a serial ATA drive. My computer doesn't have that kind of interface!
