Hmmm.  I had trouble with an order with them as well, but thought it was
a fluke.  The person taking the order was clearly working off a script
and when I said I wanted to order two things got all confused, so we started
with one and when we were done he asked me (i.e. he read slowly to me) if 
I wanted to order anything else.  There were other strange things about the
conversation.  I had ordered something or other and a system saver for my
Apple ][e.  When it arrived I found they had sent me one for a Mac.  Sigh.
COD return is wonderful, although I was attempted to add a charge onto the 
standard cost of postage.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept       responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate     everyone else's.
