Hank, Sorry if I implied that I paid full price for my Flyer. It's a long story, but in the end, I got a pre-booked .94 Flyer at the reduced price. Here's the Readers Digest version of that story. (I know you're dying to know ;>)). First, all excited, I applied to be a Flyer beta tester in April/May '94 (not knowing there was going to be a premium price for the privilege). When no word had come and the pre-book deadline was fast approaching, I asked NewTek for advice. They said to pre-book in case my "beta application" was turned down. I pre-booked. Next, NewTek advised me that I was accepted as a beta tester. However, I was shocked to find out it would mean paying full price for the Flyer and inflated prices for the drives. After a lot of agonizing over the decision and delays in shipping my beta Flyer, I cancelled my beta order in January '95 and reverted to the pre-book order that was still on NewTek's books. I finally got my pre-booked .94 pre-release Flyer in late March at the pre-book price and paid market prices on my 9-gig Seagates. So I have no complaints about the pricing; just the performance of my approved drives. Regards Mark
