	That's good to hear since it's apparant that they're still on the
small side.

	I got my A-Max and Mac ROMs from them.  When I told her about an order
that I canceled somewhere else (they were out of stock) she asked for their
price which was $15-$20 less.  "That's a lot, isn't it?" she said.  "Well,
it's all relative ..." says I, and she knocked off $5 off their price, and
apologized that was the best she could do -- it was her idea.  Note: that
month was the first time I saw an add from that other place.  So if they
continue to grow their prices can only get better.

	I enquired whether I should go for second day air and after
inquiring where I lived she said to go with UPS land and it will get to me
in two days.  Two days later I had my A-Max and ROMs and the Mac drive I
ordered from MacConnection (an excellant Mac mail order place -- I ordered
it the next day and they ship over night). I was in mail-order heaven.

	We chatted a bit and she inquired where I heard of them and I
responded "Usenet."  No response of "what's that?"  Since she wasn't afraid
to admit what she didn't know about, such as my Princeton Graphics Max-15
monochrome multisynch, she knows what Usenet is.  Knowledgable woman.

	Ditto.

	Look it up.  Prices on some items are very competitive.

Flip side,
