[dundee] Advice on where to buy... LinkStation!

[Barry Carr]

Hi Dan,

I have a LinkStation at home and we have a couple at work and I have to 
say that they are excellent, they just work! We ended up with the 
linkstations after we had 2 iomega NAS boxes that died with weeks of 
purchase. We've never had a minutes trouble with LinkStations.

I got my home unit from Staples in Dundee, if that helps.

Cheers
Barry
