The old adage, if it's too good to be true definitely applied to this deal.

Oh well, it was a little excitement for a lazy Sunday.

My Amazon order also cancelled!

Well, now I might just buy one from OWC Larry just to spite them (someone, myself maybe?).... nose too big anyway, might as well cut a little off.

Now this thread has me REALLY wanting one of these small drives! See what y'all boys did? I actually have one small external, but used the case to put my old original 6 GB Pismo drive into.

Now, I am a little confused about what drive will work in what case, ATA, SATA, IDE, etc. When I buy, I will ask to make sure...

I apologize to all. It appears that a mistake by a single supplier (who new they all front for the same supplier?) caused the widespread price mistakes. I try to post only "definite" deals in the future.

No no no, don't do that. It never hurts to attempt these deals. I've had them come through on a couple of occasions. It's better to deal than deal not, no?

Besides, there's a little 'thrill of the hunt aspect' to these chases. Kinda' like our hunter-gatherer ancestors, these forays into the Internet wild bring us closer together. The shared adventures and dangers along the way can only serve to cement our tribal bonds and make us stronger. So live the adventure I say. Deal long and prosper!

The Nerds wouldn't even fess up to it being a pricing mistake.

Ah, yes, the thrill of the chase.... (okay, RUN US FOOLS...RUN -(I left Tokyo to avoid this!)

I ordered my two from Super Warehouse and got the confirmation email but haven't heard anything since. No charge has been made to my card.
