Ups would not deliver them to your work anyway unless you have it
listed as the billing adress on your credit card. I went thru that BS
when I ordered my last Bare bones sytem. I had to go to the Bank I
have my credit card at and add my work addy just so I could get the
damned thing. Any way 25meg/sec sustained is awsome. I have to thank
you for turning me on the the promise card. www.promise.com(Fast
track) I have two 10 gig 7200rpm and two 8.4's as well as a Scsi cdr
and a IDE DVD and a regular EIDE 6.4 gig HD. I could hook up 2 more
HD's, but Geesh no room hehe. I also don't wanna fry eggs on my puter.
Now I am gonne get me one of them Miro cards so I can make and edit
good chicken PORN!
