 I was looking for a hard for my 1040 when I came across this company in
Webster, Texas, MEGABYTE.  They had what I considered to be very good prices
on harddisks and also seemed to know what they were doing when I talked to
them over the phone.  ..BUT.. it is another case of it is being shipped 
today, followed by we will be getting a part tomorrow, followed by yours
is at the top of the list.

I can understand this on software where schedules are sometimes not able
to be kept but hardware is a matter of counting the number of oredrs and
counting the number of parts and asking ones self do I have of enough.

I am about ready to cancel my order because I wonder if a company can't
tell if something is in stock or not how good would they be at fixing it?

Has anyone ever delt with this place before?
If so what is your reaction?
Any suggestions where one might get a deal on a hard disk for the ST?
(I sould prefer a 30+ if at all possible?)

Thanks for any response
