My shop (in NY) has gotten two of these calls in the past week, one guy wanted 50 40GB Hard drives, the other wanted 5 laptops shipped to Sri Lanka or somesuch. (Guess he heard about our sterling service) The scary part about the first guy was he claimed to be a local business in the beginning. The
tech googled the name quick - came up w/ nada and told him we'd have to call him back w/ a quote. Strangely the contact info was bogus. What I'm curious about is how they expected to get the merch unless they were local? Nigerian Immigrants?
Actually the greatest boon to piracy has been Microsoft. That and the unyielding generosity of those folks running IRC bots on their 0WnEd 'doze boxes. If MS ever gets their act together we're screwed.
