I have ordered form InterComputing three times.  The first times were
just for some books (RKM etc) and I had no problems.  The third time I
bought an Amiga 2000.  It was shipped incomplete.  They NEVER did send
me the Intro to the A2000 manual, even tho I kept bugging them for 5
months.  (Rick Unland at Commodore sent me one.)  I have no intention
of doing business with them again.  I intend to avoid mail order for
anything more complicated than books.  I recommend that you do the
same.
