Speaking of Abel's quick turnaround..

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.
