Summary: Service for us was slow

My experience with the company was not a real good one.  I placed an order
for the place I worked for that was for about $15,000 worth of Apple and
IBM computer equipment.  I had to use a certified company check for the order,
and the order-taker I was working with acted as though he would rather have me
cancel the order if I couldn't pay with some other method.  It then took them
over three weeks to ship the order, in spite of the fact that I had been 
assured that the order would go out within a week, etc.  When I called to check
on the status of the order, it was like pulling teeth to get a straight answer.
I also seem to remember that the only was I ever could get through to the place
was to call the toll number, i.e. not the 800 number.  This incident occured
about 13 months ago, so maybe they have changed their ways.

One good note -- I was able to dicker with them quite a bit on the price of the
various equipment.  I suspect that their advertised prices are not as firm as
they would like you to think.
