I have seen one CompuAdd review in a >magazine and it was pretty good. >SJK I ordered about $250 worth of hardware/software from CompuAdd about 3 months ago and everything turned out very well. I got what I ordered, it came expeditiously and it appeared to be good quality equipment. I returned a printer stand because it didn't work very well with my printer and I had no problem with the return (I got an RMA first from CompuAdd). My initial reason for ordering from them was that I needed an A-B switch and a keyboard drawer (to go on top of a desk). Their prices were about 25-50% of what other companies were charging for the small hardware items. Their software prices are okay, but you can probably do better with Telemart or some other companies. Bruce Carlson
