Where is this article? You didn't say.

The article on Thursday May 12, told of a Maxtor 160 gig portable HD from Newegg. After placing an order I was rapidly informed they were not available and my order was being canciled. It appears to be a scam to get you on there mailing list and entice you to buy other items from thier site. The 160 gig for $49 appears to be a hoax. Not only do they now have my information they are holding $50 of my money. I wish CNET would have researched the company fully before posting their atricle.
