Thanks, Joe, for the VST sales tip! Only the "early birds got the worms" :( ... seems the VST Zips were long gone within an hour of the sale. Here's the reply I got from SmartDisk to a few questions I sent earlier today... /BG
From: Carolyn Oppie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 14:58:24 -0400 Subject: RE: Fall Blowout/Zip Drives 1998 G3 Powerbook Wallstreet BG, To answer your first question, this sale started yesterday and we sold out of the zip drives within an hour. 1. 100mb can be used anytime in a 250mg drive. 2. We have sold out of new zips in either size and we don't know when people will send back zip drives for us to refurbish. 3. We do not allow back order sales. You cannot place an order unless we have stock. 4. No, we do not allow rain checks. Thank you Carolyn Oppie Customer Service ----------------------------- Joel Furtek of ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote on 9/18/02 3:13 PM: Hey all, Just a note to let you know that Smartdisk/VST's running another blow-out sale, like the one on hard drives a few months back. They're basically offering half-off on a number of older products, including firewire zip drives if you're so inclined. I think there might even be a few things for the Ti/iBook folks. I just bought a VST charger bundle with the charger, A/C adapter, and an Apple Li-ion battery for $165 total, with free UPS shipping. Leather carry cases for expansion bay drives and slim drives run $7.50.
