In further defense of Dr Mac, I've used them twice in the past few months
to order some oddball stuff (MacSprintII, when it first came out, and Extend,
a simulation/modeller).  None of the other mail order houses I called (and
I called them all) carried the products; Dr Mac didn't either, but called
the appropriate vendors, and then called me back to see if I wanted to 
special order.  The orders came within a week or so, and of course I got the
typical mail order discount.  Bottom line is that I was a happy customer.

I will happily grant you that I haven't bought mounds of software and 
hardware from them, and hence can only speak from my limited experience 
with them.  I just hate to see a public lynching take place without some
word in defense of the hung.
