I wrote a letter to Computer Shopper when I was shafted by another mail
order  company (Don't buy the 80-track floppy driver from Western Systems,
it doesn't work.)  I never heard a word from Computer Shopper, nor from
Western Systems when I wrote asking for a refund, and they are still 
advertising in CS.

While I would not expect them to stop accepting advertising on the 
strength of one complaint, some sort of acknowledgement would have been 
nice.
