In my opinion, the best place to order ANY parts (incl. software &
complete systems) through mail order is PC Network. This is a
subscription-only orginazation (membership is about $20 for 1 year),
that gives UNBELIEVABLE prices on everything they sell. Their prices are
Wholesale + 8%. As an example, I ordered 512k of 256k chips (18), and
the total was about $65. Postpaid. They came in about three weeks, and
I've been delighted. They are selling brand-name diskettes (10) for
about $7 (Opus), and I got 2 boxes of those in about 1 week. Incidently
- let me use an example to show price changes. In the November 27 issue
of PC Magazine, 256k chips are listed @ $33 each, and 64k's (9 chips)
at $35.55. Not including 8%. I got my 256k's at $3.00 (plus 8%), and
64s are about $7 (+ 8%). Not bad...

Good luck! --Erik
