I don't know about Micro Express, but Express Micro Mart in West
Bloomfield Michigan is not the place you want to buy a computer.

I bought one in July, and they never shipped it. They were always
waiting on parts. When I called (several dozen times) about the order,
they had a hard time locating information about it. 

I asked them for my money back, but they couldn't do that either. Seems
that the Attorney General wants them to send me a letter stating their
debt or some kind of crap.

They're not bankrupt yet, so I hope I get my money. I've got a good
attorney. My advice to you is:

NO matter WHERE you buy your computer, BUY BY CREDIT CARD. If I had
done this, there would be no need for me to wait for my money.

They kind of laughed when I told them I'd flame them on the net.
I guess that kind of foolishness is why they're heading out of
business.
