Crown 99 From Red Bull No Longer Available

2012-01-05 13:37:02

I just talked to Red Bull headquarters, as well as I could with language difficulties, to find out why I can't buy Crown 99 anymore.

As far as I could tell, the Crown 99 blend is no longer being produced.

I prefer to drink whiskey (or whisky blends) plain or with juice, rather than with soda, which is harder to find these days (as well).

I've tried some other types, but I find them too harsh. Any suggestions for an alternative? I don't want to pay the higher price for imports right now.

Maybe the Crown and the soda that Red Bull makes are just temporarily unavailable due to flood damage, but my local Lotus store people also talk like Crown is gone for good.

2Tb Hard Drive

2010-12-26 12:50:54

I live far outside Bangkok, and the only 2TB drive I can find is Western Digital's WD20EARS.

According to my research, this drive cannot be used with XP without a special format utility by WD, thanks to a new sector size. Some say it is noisy too.

I've read good things about Seagate's ST32000542AS drive (5900 rpm), and also the Samsung F4 2tb drive (fast).

Seagate builds drives in Thailand, so I think it is just provincial thinking and economics that leads my local retailers to stock only the WD drive.

So I welcome feedback from anyone who uses these drives, to help me decide if I'm still on the right track (trying to get the Seagate and Samsung drives).

If so, can you suggest a reputable retailer in Bangkok who will allow me to order it and have it shipped to me. Too bad that tohome.com and shop4thai do not sell the drives I want either.

Thanks.
