Now I'll come to Jasmine's rescue.  I placed an order by phone
for an  Innerdrive 90II about 2.5 weeks ago.  I had just taken
delivery of my MacII and  so was pretty horny for a hard drive.
When I asked  about having the order  rushed to me over night,
the guy on the other end replied that Jasmine was in  the midst
of moving to new facilities and that their shipping department
was in  disarray, but that they could get it to in 8-10 days.
My heart sank but I ordered anyway.  This was a Monday.  
Friday morning my drive arrived,  4-6 days ahead of schedule.
I was overjoyed. (The sucker's pretty darn fast, too.) 

Perhaps the problems alluded to in previous postings are a 
function of the move.  I hope things straighten out.  If they
don't, it just proves MNK's Law (for lack of a better name)
