Some of you might like to try out MacZone. I work at NASA and between myself and another person, we can purchase multiple thousands of dollars of stuff on a blanket purchase order for several different companies. MacWarehouse (the one with the girl on the cover of their magazine saying "Call Me") is a bit of a disapointment. You can tell that they have been instructed to hang up as quickly as possible. In addition to the fact that they know almost nothing about Mac products (except their names). MacConnection has always been good. But I really like MacZone (800)248-0800 because they are always al least one dollar less than anyone else. And they were the first company to tell not to buy something! They are also able to tell me of some upcomming new releases of software that I didn't know about. Call around. If you find a company that will spend a little more time on the phone giving you good advice, deal with them! This is the only way that the good companies will survive and the bad ones will clean up their act or go out of business! Vote with your dollars! NASA isn't paying me to say this! So don't blame them! +--------------------------+---------------------------------------+ / Patrick Hoepfner | NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center \ / America Online: PatrickH9 | Internet: hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov \ +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
