Well,  I ordered an ST277N from Lyco 5+ weeks ago.  Yesterday, during
my weekly "where is it?" call, I was told that "Seagate is having trouble
with the cabling (!?) on the ST277N's and there's a nation-wide backlog."
"Oh", I said.  Then today I saw Scott's posting with the phone number
for First Stop Computers (I had looked for them before, but they 
weren't in the Computer Shopper issue that I bought).  "What the hell,
I'll call them just to check."   What did they say?
"Quantity one price?  $427 + $5 maximum shipping.  How many do you want?
 Yes we have them in stock.  Have it to you in a couple of days."

I then called Lyco and told them to blow it out their... well, you get
the picture.

Thanks again, Scott.

( Work for First Stop? I don't even know where they ARE! )
