Well, glad to see you coming on as you, but as of last Thursday the number you gave me refused to take orders for SCSI 2.0 and flatly stated that no orders would be accepted for it until at least next week. Not a great coordinated effort with marketing again (you all trying to emulate Draw4's inglorious record?). Full page ads in PC WEEK, INFOWORLD, now BYTE and who knows where else, and the number tells folks they won't even take backorders…. Hopefully this all will be straightened out by Monday when everybody struggles back from Comdex. Of course, since COMDEX had 175,000 registrants for at least a short period, some people may still be trying to get out of Vegas when the NEXT Comdex rolls around….
