- That same kind of crap happened to me last year when I ordered a hard drive
- from Hard Drives International. The sleazy representative jerked me around
- for two weeks over a shipment I should have gotten in three days. I finally
- asked to talk to someone else that wouldn't jerk me around, after which I
- found out that the drive they "had in stock" was really backordered. That
- was early in my purchasing days, I have since found a good company that
- gets all of my business. :-)
