I have to report dissatisfaction with their speed. While constantly assuring
me of ever-increasing ship dates, they strung me  along for a long time while 
I was waiting for my 20 meg hard drive. After more than a month had passed 
since my order, they informed me that they weren't carrying 20 meg hard drives
any more. But they cut me a pretty good deal on a 52meg hard drive, and when
that sucker arrived, I was too happy to anymore curse. In the end, I guess I
was happy.
