Last time I ordered from MacWarehouse I ordered two TOPS Phonenet
type connectors which where suposedly "instock" when I was on the
phone. The next day only one showed up at my doorstep and one was 
backordered. I was a bit disturbed to say the least. This is the
first time I've had a problem with them out of ~15 orders.
