  GVP = fast

  Do not ever order anything from Montgomery Grant. Not even disk labels.
I once ordered a computer from Montgomery Grant, and canceled it one half
hour later. After passing the Inquisition for Canceled Orders, I still
received the $1000 system via UPS and had to tell the driver it was canceled.

  I almost ordered my Amiga from there, too. They charged me $50 for a
surge protector, which I later bought for $6 at SEARS. They charge lots of
hidden fees, and often sell broken equipment or rebuilt machines. They rarely
follow their gaurantees too.

  Ever notice how their prices are 'SO LOW WE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PRINT
THEM' in Amiga World, yet they go ahead and print them in other magazines
anyway? Take two different magazines for the same month, that both have 
Montgomery Grant ads. Notice that at the top of the page it says the month
and the magazine name. Then notice any differences in the prices. If there
are many other Amiga vendors in he issue, the prices are low. Otherwise, the 
prices are as much as 30% higher.
