Add one more to the list who thinks they are terrible! I waited over 8 weeks
for a software package that they told me was 'in stock' when I called. After
a week with no package coming in the mail, I called back and was told it
was 'on back order'. I asked them why I was told it was in stock when it
obviously wasn't, and they told me they 'made a mistake'. Right. 
Abel has one of the *worst* reputations in the business. I can't believe
that most people recomend them. I am posting this to ask all of you who
had bad experiences with Abel to please Email OdeaN and set the record
straight.
