     I bought my moniter from Go Amigo.  I chose them because a friend
 of mine had purchased a lot of stuff from them and has absolutely no
 problems.  I wasn't quite so lucky.

     I called one day and ordered the 1084.  They said 7 to ten days.
 Three weeks later, I called them back to find out where my monitor
 was (I was using a C64 monitor in B/W).  They said that my credit
 card says 'Ack!'.  My Visa had plenty of room.  I ordered again and
 called back a few times to make sure it actually got sent.

     10 days or so later I get a nice package.  A 1080 monitor.
 I got back on the phone to talk about the slight mix-up.  I wanted
 a 1084.  They told me that this was impossible.  They don't sell
 1080 monitors.  Then they asked a beautey of a question:  "What makes
 you think it is a 1080?"

     They told me to send the monitor back and will send out a 1084
 upon reciept.  The 7 to 10 days had turned into a month and a half.
 I told them that I wanted them to send me the 1084 and I will send
 the 1080 when I recieved the 1084.  And I wanted a call tag.  I wasn't
 going to pay for shipping as they suggested.

     They told me flat out that this wasn't going to happen.  They
 suggested sending me some EA demo disks (or whatever).  I agreed.
 Over a month later I called them and asked where my compensation was.
 This time I got a mouse mat and a flicker-buster.  I actuall *GOT*
 this.

     I am pleased with the flicker-buster thing and the mouse mat,
 but I really wanted the 1084.  I got the monitor about a year ago,
 and it is dated September, 1985.

     I haven't bought anything from them again.  Then again, I haven't
 bought anything from mail order again.
