Oh, man, would this be nice.  I, too, have had my share of bad
experiences with Montomery Grant, even though I went to the store
personally (they are about 20 minutes away from me)..  Two years ago,
when I first started considering getting an Amiga, I shopped around,
and found their price in the newspapers to be the best.  I went there,
and got a price quote on the back of a business card.  Over the next
three days, the price changed three times, each time I called.  Of
course, the business man I talked to was never to be heard of again..

I ended up paying the extra money and getting my amiga from a REAL
computer store.

While we're on the subject, if anybody considers buying from "Four
Guys Computers" in Manhattan, New York, forget it.  They are worse
than MG.  They had the audacity to charge $75 for the 1.3 *disk*
upgrade, when it retails for $30..  They said, "Commodore raised the
price because of the excessive demand."  Yeah, sure, whatever they
say.
