hi s, Picked them up from Ingram as they had the best price. Both Merisel and D+H also had inventory. FWIW paid $388 a 5pk or $77 each Gave instructions for my technicians to build and display systems without a 1.44 floppy drive, I'm confident they'll sell, the 1.44 floppy is useless. We're going to call it The Year 2000 Compliant System. ; ) Just one other tidbit IOM has established a Built_InPartner program very similar to Microsoft's. ( they look so much alike it looks like Microsoft's subcontractors put it together ) I'll be participating in their direct mailing program, a cooperative effort using my mailing lists and cost and their printing. Microsoft did a study identifying the sales generated by all the small guys and found that in fact combined they sell billions more than the big guys combined. Efforts have increased from the trade to capture and utilize this resource. These behind the scenes programs are going to produce, a much better use of marketing dollars. Regards Reseller
