I think I ordered my VST expansion drive from Shoplet the same day you did (last Sunday 3/24?). I got a call from Shoplet on Thursday saying that they would be shipping my drive. I got them to overnight it to me at their expense (an upgrade from the Fed Ex 2 day service I already had). Got my drive Friday and it works great under 9 and X. I think we've seen the last of these drives at the sub-$60 price. Any vendors that still have them--like OfficeDepot.com--are selling them at the old retail prices (~200 bucks). As many of you have probably noticed, several of these drives have shown up on ebay in the last couple of weeks, all them being sold in the $125 area. Bet they are some of the one's from the Smartdisk Yahoo store. Jim R. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
