I've had problems with Mibro in the past, and didn't get any action at all until I called the Better Business Bureau (Mibro even hung up on me...avoid like the plague!). You might also check your state agencies (look in the phone book under Alabama, state of, for example). If you have a specific complaint, E-Mail me the details, and I'll keep it on file and add a tick on my list of amiga mail order dealers. --Frank fstuart@eng.auburn.edu
