I have done business with Protecto.  Last year, I purchased an
expansion interface for the VIC-20.  They had advertised a 4-slot
interface, but were sold out on that.  They sent me a card, advising
that the item had been discontinued, and suggesting a reasonable
substitute, which I purchased.

Although I too dislike Protecto's method of advertisement (Specifically,
their advertising a machine with 20% more RAM as having "20% more
computing power"), my dealings with them was problem-free and conformed
to business standards.

Let me repeat: I found nothing "shady" about Protecto Enterprises.  I
even found them to be reasonably friendly on the telephone.  Even so,
the same as any other mail-order firm, I would only recommend them to
those consumers who knew exactly what they were wanted, and were only
looking for a convenient and/or inexpensive way of obtaining it.
