- Whatever you do you don't want to talk to Scum Spot staff. They are a bunch of
- useless idiots, that don't know anything about the stuff that they sell.
- BTW: Scum Spot does carry SAS/C.
-
- You can either buy SAS/C directly from SAS (they are based in Lane Cove, just
- down the road from C=) or from Hard Disk cafe' in Mona Vale. I got mine from
- HD Cafe' because it was a bit cheaper. They were pretty cool about everything
- and send it to me very quickly. When I was ordering it they told me that they
- would send me 5.10a, but when I got it, it was in fact 5.10b; the latest.

- Yes, but if you had a PC you would probably ripped your hair out by now trying
- to get your PC to do anything at all.
