---------------

The reason for asking the whole world was this:

About 3 months ago, i saw a lot of ads on most Mac magazine concerning 
LaCie hard disk. I also read review from the net and those magazines that
the drive is a good drive.

Because of the good reviews and promising ads, I order 2 Lacie drives with
the deal that i should get the SILVER PLATTER with each drive I buy.

When I received the drive, i then realize that the silver platter doesnot
come with package. Curious with what happen, i called the Lacie Ltd.
The answer that i got was " send your registration and we will send you
the Silver Platter in 30 days."   "Wonderfull," I said.

About 6 weeks after sending the registration, the silver platter still
did not arrive. I then called the company again and asked why .
After explaining the reason i am calling, the receptionist then tell me
that the product is still in back order and will be send to me in about
30 days. I then started to get upset.

Two weeks after the previous called, i gave another call.
This time, i got a different respond, they says that they dont have the 
product and dont know when they are going to have it and they even asked me
the name of the receptionist who told me that 30 days promise.

Wonderfull huh !!!

The receptionist then direct me to another person who then tell me that
this is not his responsibility and direct me to another person and
who at the time was not there. A different lady then ask me if i want
to leave a message and I did.  A week passed by still no one has answer
my call.

So .... what can I do ???
Wait and let the LaCie play do what ever they want ??

I wonder why those monthly and weekly magazine gave a good review 
about Lacie... I really wonder...

I also wonder why they let this company promise thru their magazine
and did not even check if the company  can deliver what they promise.

I really wonder...

Please tell me if you hear any thing about the Silver Platter.
I got tired of waiting
