Hartnett) Distribution: usa Organization: Brown University Department of Computer Science Lines: 19 About a year ago, I called MacWarehouse's "Corporate" number to ask about Syquest drives. They said they didn't carry them. After I hung up, I checked their catalog, and sho 'nuff, they had 'em. If I could find it in their catalog faster than the telephone answerer, that was good enough for me, I called MacConnection. BTW, the best "voice mail" I heard was the messaging system for MacZone: "Someone should have answered your call by now. This means either two things: 1) we are unexpectedly busy or 2) we're trying to ignore you." (That's the truth, they actually had that message on there.) -Owen Owen Hartnett omh@cs.brown.edu "FAITH, n.
