The discussion was about buying second-hand gear. Alex was trying to
illustrate the point that you don't always save money, and may end up
paying way more per Mb/MHz/FLOP/whatever.

60 Gb drives weren't available five years ago, which is the timeframe in
which the story took place. 2Gb drives were, for around $200.
Second-hand drives of 100Mb to 150Mb were also available, for almost
$200.
