	They still do business. I just ordered the above drive from them for
219.90 for a freind of mine. I still can't afford one though. We also went by
our local Radio-Shack to find this CD-ROM drive for $199 and no go. They had one
for $419, but no $199. Is this only available in certain areas? I don't suppose
anyone has got a CD-rom lying around that they'd like to sell on credit? 8-)

Oh well...
John
