Buyer beware.

I've talked to some of these out fints in New York from time to time.

If they don't sound right, I don't deal with them.

Here are some mail order sources I have dealt with and trust.

PC Connection (NH) www.pcconnection.com

MircoWarehouse (NJ) www.warehouse.com

J & R (NYC) www.jandr.com

I just love cliches.

   A fool and his money are soon ........

   If it sound too good to be true it .........

   This space intentionally left ..........

Good luck.
