How true - I was dumb enough to assume that the salesman at Princeton's
Consortium distribution store knew what an SCSI port was.  I mean, after
all, they only go to Apple training for a week or so...

At least you didn't lose too much - the above error cost me extra shipping
charges (for not having my SCSI drive and cable shipped together) and an
extra week with an unusable hard drive sitting next to my Mac.  Ugh.

Universities have never been known to care about their students' opinions.
"All right, is it 'an SCSI port' (S C S I) or 'a SCSI port' (SCuSI) in printed
text?"
