Here is my experience with Abel:

I ordered a Microbotics Starboard II from Abel almost 2 ***MONTHS*** ago. I
was assured that I would have it in 2 ***DAYS***.  I have spent around $25.00
in long distance telephone calls over the past 2 months trying to find out
where my Starboard was.

The Moral of the above two stories is:

Abel always seems to have the best prices around.  Abel always seems to have
a hard time delivering what they ***SAY*** they can ***DELIVER***.  If you
are thinking about ordering something from Abel, I would consider looking elsewhere
as you may never see the product!!!
