Hi Ken,
I didn't get either.

I'm happy using usb sticks, I picked them up for $20 to $30 for 1 gig & prices keep dropping.
For me a hard drive isn't all that neccesary unless I find down the track I need one for mp3's, though at this stage I don't see why.

I've got a heap of styles loaded on one of my old psr's usb sticks & it's only 128mb.

As for the MP3 board, it's something I'm planning to get in the future, but I haven't checked prices as yet.

If I get can't locally I may consider getting one from overseas depending on the prices.

best wishes
rikki
