I just ordered a Q105 internal from APS ($399) and they had two screwups in
a row that delayed my drive for a week.  I'd still buy another drive from
them, though, I'm quite satisfied with the Quantum 40-meg my company got
from them a year and a half ago.

One question that I wonder if anyone can shed some light on:  Why has
APS had the Q105 drives for $399 and all other companies charge an extra $100?
Is APS affiliated with Quantum in some strange way?
