Roy,
From sitting on both sides of the issue, I'd like to try to dampen
your flames a bit. Very often it really isn't the seller's (distributor,
dealer, mail-order house etc) fault that something that really did appear to
be in stock is suddenly out of stock. There have been many times where a
manufacturer's inability to get floppies (for example) will suddenly and
unexpectedly cut supply of their products down on a global basis.
One thing to keep in mind is that Floppies are going through some of the same
dynamics as ram chips these days.
Anyway, just trying to offer a different perspective.
Perry
