	I just thought I'd add my comments here. A friend of mine ( who
doesnt have posting privs) ordered an A500 from Abel in June. 3 days after
he placed an order for the system, he ordered a monitor from Abel. Two
weeks later, he recieved his A500 - but with NO disks, and NO manuals.
(They did correct this after he called them). To this day (August 21),
he STILL has not recieved his monitor. 

	I dont think ABel is a bad company; I know a LOT of people who have
done quite a lot of business with Abel, and no problems. But they are NOT
professional, and they are NOT big enough to handle the business they are 
getting.

====================================================
	A breif question on an unrelated topic: Can someone give me
the mailing address of ASDG? A friend showed me Facc today, and I
want to get a copy!
