2004apr14. I finally made my decision vis-a-vis the Roadstor and Apacer Disk Steno. My decision to purchase the Roadstor is based on two factors. [1] I guess I’m tired of beating my brains against the monitor trying to read the broken English of the Apacer site and finding relevant stats for all three of their units for comparison purposes – the 200 Combo, in particular, gives off this serious vaporunit stench, and I’m sure that’s not true, but one of the distributors hasn’t heard of it and the user manual isn’t on their site. And those photos of the smiling people scare me. I just can’t struggle anymore, I’m the roulette ball falling into the slot. [2] The Roadstor is available at Fry’s, and thus I can purchase it and examine it now instead of getting it two days before I’m scheduled to leave. I mention this because a few people were asking me about this Roadstor/Steno shootout earlier.
