   Here is a plug for the "Savings Zone". I ordered a CMS McStack 20
meg. hard drive from them (following the consensus of the net). It was
delivered 2nd day air (cost = $4). To my surprise, the "zone" checked
the drive before shipping and *included* about 17 meg. of PD,
shareware, and demo programs. As in the Jasmine case, most was the
usual stuff. However, most of it were the latest versions of the
programs (which I have not seen even in Sumex or at BBSs). It really
saved me a lot of downloading time. It also included their "electronic
catalog" (about 1 meg.) which is a "hypercard-like" application with the
description of all their products (with prices).   

I have ordered from them and from MacConnection and have no
complaints so far. 

Yes, the usual disclaimers apply!!.
