Well, I have to defend microlab.  I think either you had a rare bad experience,
or I had a rare good experience (I cant say which :).  I ordered a Toshiba
high density disk drive from them a few months ago, and they got the thing here
in 4 days.  For christmas, my friend ordered some things from them for his
father's AT machine, and he also has no complaints.

In offense to microlab, the salesperson I talked with wanted to make me feel
like she was miss high and mighty computer goddess or something.  While she
was rumaging around looking for the drive's price, she asked me what disk
controller I had, so I told her.  She then says "Really????  What kind of
machine to you have?"  I told her I had a 386.  IN an instant she was all
over me trying to sell me a new controller card.  She insisted my card was
an 8bit card.  Thats kinda funny since it has a 2 segment card edge connecter
and wont fit in an 8bit slot eh? :)
