Pretty much the same story here... I ordered a RAMFast, they said that
it was in stock. After about 3 weeks, I called them up and they said
that they weren't in stock at that time, but they'd send it Fed Ex,
which they did. Later, I ordered a GS-Sauce card and got that on time.
Even though they don't seem to be sure whether or not stuff is in
stock or not, I still think they're a pretty good place...

Yup, I ordered a modem and Orca/M from them, and got it the next day.
I'll probably buy software from them, since other places are cheaper
for hardware.
