A bit of a difference in > price, I must say. I got one at the WAACE event for $29. There was another for $35. reason: no instructions. no problem... the first one I bought came with instructions.. ps: I didn't get the second one because I was too overwhelmed with ``I WANT EVERYTHING!'' so I spread my money as best as I could. pps: I just saw a hard drive for $80 on the net... THAT got my attention! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott D.

B Holme ask if the Spectre GCR is available yet? I sent a message to Dan Moore 2 days ago because I cannot contact Dave Small ( his Bitnet address is so complicate that I don't kow how to fill it in the UserID and NodeID ). Dan mentioned to me that (I sure that he would not mind I'm qouting his message) he met Dave on 19 October and had told that Spectre GCR has been shipping out to those pre-orders for at least 4 Weeks. Gadgets by Small just received another production run of the cartridge (few hundred pcs) and now busy stuffing them into the boxs. Dan also does not know when they will finish clearing the pre-order lot. I have ordered 4 Pcs of Spectre GCR since July and still keep watching for the Federal Express man to apprear at my front door. S.

A friend of mine here at California State University, Chico got his GCR a couple of weeks ago. He loves it. I think, however, that he pre-ordered it a long time ago. He owns the original Spectre also. I heard a a couple of months ago that Gadgets was backordered a couple of batches. Unless you ordered it a long time ago, it may be sometime until the dealers get them. I hope this answers your question at least a little.
