     I was wondering if I am a chump.  I sent Blackpatch Systems in
Maryland about $200 for an INDUS GT disk drive.  I called them after
about a month, but they said that Indus was backordered and there would
be a delay.  I called yesterday, and their 800 number was disconnected.
I called over and over today, but their 301 area code number was busy.
Is it time to call the postal inspector or file with their receviers?
They have never even acknowledged my order.  To add insult to injury,
they reduced the price in this month's antic ad.  Why not, they have the
interest on the cash from the bank check I had to send because they do
not trust our personal checks.
