Keith says that we may have to resort to mail order software as if it was
a last resort.  Actually, I prefer to deal with mail order houses because
they seem to CARE about Atari and Atari owners.  I agree that it is (or 
could be) a pain to have to send software back if it doesn't work but I
have only had to do that once.  'Spy vs Spy' didn't load when I first
got it but I had send in the warranty card already, so I sent it back to
FirstStar directly with a detailed letter.  It was packed carefully and
marked magnetic, do not X-ray, etc.  When I got back my new copy, it was
in a large envelope with no warning and no letter of any kind.  To be fair,
the package it is sold in is very sturdy and protects the disk very good.

I deal mostly with Software Unlimited (Disk of the Month Club) and
Software Discounters of America.  Both are excellent and I usually have
the software in a week to 10 days from mailing my order.  I say 'give the
business to the person that wants it the most'.  The prices are usually
a lot better than I see locally and the shipping vs local tax is pretty
close to a trade-off.
