So, I want to get a nice hard drive for my //e.  I thought about it, and I
really want DOS to reside on it as well as proloss, so I decided on the
Sider.  So, I got all the literature I could find (a good deal of it at
AppleFest) and called them up.  What's that?  You don't make the 40 meg 28
ms seek time SCSI drive yet?  OK, I'll talk to my local dealer.  Hello,
dealer?  What's that?  You ordered 40 of them, only then finding out you'd
get them sometime in 88?

Oh, well, it seems the norm these days is to say you got it, then make it.

BTW:  If FCP does get their act together, they will be makeing a 140 meg
with streaming tape backup.  I;d love one for christmas, maybe '91?  Anyone
care to buy me one?
