They advertise low prices, but watch out: they charge more than any other outfit I've seen for shipping and handling - enough so to make me believe that they use it as an additional profit generator. They charged me $30 to send the thing UPS Blue, and then didn't send it that way! It took me two months and several letters and phone calls to get them to refund the extra charge - and they only refunded $15 of that. $15 for shipping and handling a single, half-card-sized purchase (the shipping charge was all of $2.65) is a ripoff. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they charge $50-70 for S&H of a computer... -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC (@WB5BBW)...>splut!< | GEnie: JAYMAYNARD CI$: 71036,1603 uucp: {uunet!nuchat,academ!uhnix1,{ihnp4,bellcore,killer}!tness1}!splut!jay Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.
