   >Has anyone had any previous experience with a company named "Bare Boards"

        My experience with them is incomplete but I'm beginning to fear that
it
may be all too indicative of things to come.  I ordered the board three weeks
ago and haven't yet received anything.

        Right now the company has two strikes against it.  I phoned them the
first day after seeing their ad in Robo City News.  The ad claimed "2 Mbyte
Ram
Board, $139".  I was told that the price had gone up to $149.  This is still a
good price but I would think that they could have honored the advertized price
for at least one day. Strike one.  I asked them if they got my money that day
when would they ship the board.  I was told they were "back-ordered by one or
two weeks".  I optimistically thought that this might be true and sent in my
money.(Please don't flood me with offers of bridges you want to sell).  Three
weeks have gone by.  Strike two.

        I'm disturbed to hear that they no longer answer their phone.  The
main
reason that I placed the order despite the clear warnings is that I got 
knowledgeable answers to technical questions about their product during two
phone calls.
