Also, if you try calling like 1/2 hour before closing on a weekday, and you're lucky enough to get a hold message, your call will be answered. They are really busy, though... If you have a catalog you could try their fax number to place an order. I have a flyer here, and they are open until 6pm Pacific, Mon-Sat. I don't know of any other places that have such a deal, and I think Egghead's taking a loss on Dos sales, so that may be why no one else has it so low, but they are doing some big business here...
