Just for your information, PC-Network filed for Chapter 11 reorganization this
week.  Note that this does not mean that they are out of business, just that
those who ordered mdse before about the beginning of the month may have
trouble getting anything for their money (unless they paid by credit card).
They may very well rebound from this, but I'd wait a little while before
ordering anything from them except my credit card.  Note that while THE and
Access are owned and/or managed by the same people, they are NOT affected
by the action.  This information comes from the Chicago Tribune.
