Well, I ordered my 277N from them 3 weeks ago and yesterday they swore
(again) on the phone that they'd get them in 'middle of next week'. Sigh.
Oddly enough, the cheapest way to order from Lyco is COD.  My total bill
is under $450 (I just gave the money to the guy who runs the store under my
apartment and had the drive sent to him).

I hope you're right about them being reliable, I'm getting a little antsy.
