They've always been one and the same company, only in the past they
were very careful to make it seem like they specialized in your
particular brand of computer.  Also, since they've been dealing with
the PC for years, they were able to get into the Mac market without
hitting all the pitfalls young startup companies like Icon Review fell
prey to.

I forgot their number was 1-800-MAC LISA -- with a number like that, you
know they've been around for a while.  Maybe I'll give them a call and
order a spare twiggy drive or 5mb Profile hard disk...  :-)
