I called Monday night at 11:30, because I only had the number around and not the magazine I had gotten it from. I forgot that they were here in New Hampshire, and thought I might get an answer because of a time difference to somewhere out West where it wasn't so late. It turns out I got them on their first night of keeping the order lines open until =1:00AM, EST.= Apparently the only people they keep around are order takers, so if you've got extensive questions, call back earlier in the day. I also got someone who was on her first night "officially" taking calls; I don't know whether it was her first time, or her first "night", but she was more than friendly. Even when I transposed 2 digits in an item number, and trying to be friendly, mentioned their photos in the ads (oops! MacWarehouse!). She said it would probably ship on Wedneday. No big deal; how urgent is After Dark, some floppies and a TurboMouse? Speaking of After Dark... How easy is it to follow their "technical info." to make my own new screensavers? I've been reading since June and have seen no mention. Have I missed something? I don't even remember it in the magazines. One interesting note: Terry at MacConnection seemed really confused when she asked where I heard about them, and I said "Ads in magazines, and you've been given high marks on Usenet/Internet." I tried briefly to explain it... -- ________ --------<--<-@ --------<--<-@ --------<--<-@ ________ \ / | } ( | It's always darkest before it turns pitch black. | ) { | / / "If any of my opinions are caught or killed..." \ O> \
