The most amazing thing just happened. I called Computerland to see if they had the latest System and Finder. The sales person told me they didn't have it; as in they any version of the System or Finder. This computer store has sold macs for 2 years and they don't even know what Finder is. No wonder people use mail order. The only thing a computer store has to offer is instant grtification. Tom Burns

How true - I was dumb enough to assume that the salesman at Princeton's Consortium distribution store knew what an SCSI port was. I mean, after all, they only go to Apple training for a week or so... At least you didn't lose too much - the above error cost me extra shipping charges (for not having my SCSI drive and cable shipped together) and an extra week with an unusable hard drive sitting next to my Mac. Ugh. -- Ken Menken Princeton University Universities have never been known to care about their students' opinions. "All right, is it 'an SCSI port' (S C S I) or 'a SCSI port' (SCuSI) in printed text?"
