I thought that I ought to stick up for MY favorite Mail Order House. Between myself and a gov'ee we have ordered *thousands* of dollars of hardware and software from the above places and I would have to say that my money wouldn't go anywhere near MacWarehouse. MacConnection is second and the MacZone is first. In over 2 years of ordering stuff, I can honestly say that there *is* a diffrence. But don't take my work for it, call all the places you use and ank a question about the latest versions and if the products are System 7 compatible. Oh, ya... The MacZone is *always* at least a buck lower that the others. I know a buck isn't much, but then wouldn't you rather have the buch than someone else? And when looking at drives, check out the 'house brand' at Mac Zone. They have the *best* prices. They are about the price of the internal drives but in an external case. After about a dozen of these drives and a year of operation, we have have no problems. +--------------------------+---------------------------------------+ / Patrick Hoepfner | NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center \ / America Online: PatrickH9 | Internet: hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov \ +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------+ P.S.
