I need to buy my girlfriend a Mac real quick. I wanted to go with
an SE30 with no drive from Apple and put in a GCC. Unfortunately,
the dealer here has no driveless SE30's in stock. He claims that
the the drives being shipped with the new Macs are GOOD Quantums,
not kludged back to life with that stupid (CHEAP) ROM fix. Can
anyone comment (e-mail)? I need the info pronto so the first 10
people to respond will get a copy of my (still beta) cdev
"PopArrow" absolutely free! It puts an extra click box into the
title bar of windows. Clicking in this box brings the second
window to the front.
Thanks.

The sales guy pulled an SE30 out of their (very recent) shipment and checked what kind of HD was in it using a program called "SCSI Probe" or something like that. Turns out Apple is using Sonys now! (I hope that's good.) Oh, the offer for the beta "PopArrow" cdev is still good. ____________________________________________________________________ Have a day. :^| Murat N.

I still think that despite the problem with Quantum drives that they are an excellent drive and they are fast. I would still prefer to have a Quantum drive over a Sony any day... -- Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 3Com Corp. Co-SysOp FreeSoft RT - GEnie.
