   I have had one experience with DAMARK. I ordered the Bondwell laptop.
They sent me a card saying it was backordered, so I called to cancel. I 
could not cancel, they said, because they had already shipped the system.
It turned out they REALLY shipped the system almost a week later. I do not
do business with DAMARK.

   I will take 5. Oh, did you mean $2200 instead of $220?
