	After reading this newsgroup for almost 4 years, the consensus
seems to be:

		AVOID M.C.S.
		AVOID MONTGOMERY GRANT

The first time I saw an M.C.S. ad, I was suspicious immediately.  I mean,
what the hell does "2 meg $500, 20 meg $600" mean?  (Obviously, the
first refers to RAM, and the second to a hard disk, but this is a really
stupid way to advertise!)

	If you want friendly and reliable service, use Safe Harbor.  If
you want other good companies, I have heard good things about BriWall
(great return policy), Go Amigo, and Computer Mart.
	If you want the CHEAPEST prices, use Abel Supply.  They aren't
always fast, but their prices are the best.
