Excuse my ignorance if this is the wrong place, but is MCS the one that
advertises in Computer Shopper a lot, especially for hardware that is
being liquidated??

My friend ordered a Canon PJ 1080A printer from them a couple of years ago
for $200 (what a bahhhgin).  They sent him TWO (for the price of 1).
I bought the other one off of him for $125.  (of course, some poor sap out
there probably didn't get his.... oh well)
A few weeks later, he sent away for some software at another place, and
they not only sent him what he had ordered, but two other things he hadn't,
again while only charging him for what he had originally ordered.  As you
may imagine, he swears by mail-order.  Of course, with these kind of
screw-ups, someone somewhere got screwed.  Therefore, I think it's safest
to stay away from mail-order places.  This is my own opinion, and since
I had enough Philosophy couses to come to the conclusion that everyone has
free will, you are not obligated to follow my advice. (i.e. No flames please)
