Noooooooo....kiddddding!!!!

I ordered this thing direct from Pinnacle...and they've been telling me, 
"yeah it's shipping in small quantities...uhm...a couple of weeks 
now..." And that has been the line for quite a number of weeks now.  
First, it was late November, then it was December, then it was February, 
then it was March 15, then it was sometime in April...and now I hear it's 
May???!??!  Sheeze..by the time this thing comes out, the new crop of 5.2 
gig drives will be out...*harrumph*

If they're going to ship the thing late, say so...but don't just lead us 
by the ear...

Talk about customer service...NOT!
