By the way, this kind of E-mail communication is very positive for spreading the word on what's hot and what's not, making everyone a more informed buyer. I hope that software and hardware vendors are aware of this (better still, I hope they read it) and it keeps them on their toes. The more people are on-line, the more important customer satisfaction will become and everyone will benefit. Cheers!
