I have an idea what might have happened and I figured that others that deal with Creative might want to know about this: If you are ordering a particularly hot item from Creative, your shipment might be delayed. The reason for this is that Creative runs a thriving walk-in business here in LA and, since the retail showroom and shipping area are in the same building, it is not uncommon for a salesperson to slip back and take an item intended for mail order and sell it to an in-store customer. Since LA is full of video people, Imagine is certainly a hot item here. I don't mean this as a criticism, since its simply natural for a salesperson to operate in this manner (I didn't say ethical or nice, but natural). I think overall Creative is one of the most trustworthy dealers I've dealt with. Anyway, I've occasionally been on the "other" end of this situation :) ----- Robert Huebner huebner@aerospace.aero.org The Aerospace Corporation also @ecn.purdue.eud Computer Security Dept -----
