Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 15:40:55 -0500 Really? It seems like a lot of trouble just to snag a 20 Gig drive. The warranty sticker is still in place. And the unit doesn't look like it has been disassembled. (There may be people who can take an Archos apart and reassemble it without bending anything at all, but in my experience there are always one or two very slight bends in the sheet metal at the edges of the bumpers.) In any case, I'll try and return it to the retailer. Perhaps the real problem was that it was Archos #13 in my collection. Perhaps I pushed it a little too far, or maybe I should have numbered it #14 instead.
