Eh I NEEDED a pata hard drive that I've no clue where I would have found one online, it was a sort of emergency I have until sunday to get it finished. Luckily for me I loaded up amazon right at the end of the outage, i got the error hit refresh, got it again hit slashdot saw nothing, tired refresh again and it worked so yay there. Fixing a computer for an accountant and with tax season starting up it was rather an emergency, however given that I have the whole weekend to finish the machine up I suppose not really.
