Re: Some nice stuff on Scan today...

[Mick Furlong <dorsai@xxxxxxx>]

Well the specific  today only offer on the disc drive isn't that great
which was my main point.....but really it pays to shop around and get
the best deals/offers available...I have had 'stock' problems with
both Dabs and scan in the past even though they have both told me
everything on my order is in stock...I guess they aren't going to turn
down business ;)
