JB Technologies Inc., in Moorpark, CA advertises in Byte saying they
repair drives and sell reconditioned drives.

Last month, I called them with an order for one ST-506 drive. I was promised
that it would be shipped the next day. A week later, it hadn't arrived.

I called them asking about the order and theycould not find it. I was promised
a call back. It never came. A week after that, I called again, asking 
about my order. I was told that it was shipped on the day of my second call 
and that is should be there tomorrow. Four days later, they call me and
say that it was never shipped because they could not charge my credit card.
I told them to cancel the order.

Has anyone had anything to do with this company? 

Are these guys in the business they claim to be in or are they a rip-off?
