On 10/14 I ordered Enhancer 1.3 and a CLtd SCSI/Host ctrlr for my 1000. Well, I expected a delay on the 1.3 sincye my local dealer wasn't even expecting to get a shipment for 3 more weeks. Well.. fine. I can live with a delay. (muffled laughter at this point) Well I got the 1.3 package about 3 weeks later. No problem. I had called them about a week earlier and they told me the stuff was ordered. Well. 1.3 got here and there was a sheet saying "These are backordered".. "Ship Date".. The SCSI controller was on there, listed to ship on 11/15 Ok.. fine. I have a solid date. 11/22 I call and say "Umm.. where is it?" Oh, still on backorder.. should be another week. Another week, and it's "Oh, should be one more week." Abel is a great place to order from. Their prices are near to unbeatable for me. Until now, I had never had any problem with them.. But then, I had always ordered items that were in stock. So I guess the rule for ordering from them is to call and ask if they're in stock first. -- Mike "Still .signature-less on Portal" Stilson UUCP: ...{allegra,cadre}!pitt!idis!eklektik!mike ...{ucbvax!uunet,sun!portal}!cup.portal.com!sirius
