Do any of you out there have experience with an outfit called
PC Network? It advertises in PC Magazine, asking for a
small membership fee. In return, it offers the best prices
I've ever seen (8% above wholesale, according to the ad).
Send responses to me (seung@ut-ngp.ARPA), and I'll summarize
for the net.

A while back I sent in a query about an outfit called PC Network. I only got two responses: >From: Paul McNabb <pam@Purdue.ARPA> > >SUMMARY: PC Network is a good deal for most items but be sure to shop around >a bit too. Don't rely on immediate delivery from them and make sure you keep >their 800 number available for when orders are several weeks overdue. Don't >mess with the software rental fees - they aren't worth the money unless you >plan to steal what you say you won't. If I were grading them, they'd get a B+. >From: cbosgd!mark@Berkeley (Mark Horton) > >I belong to PC Network. It's a good deal. Here are the disadvantages: > >(1) There is a 2 week delay on everything - you order from them, then > they order it from the mfr. You might not want to wait. >(2) Their prices are not always lowest . . . >(3) I joined 2.5 months ago and am still waiting for my catalog. > . . . >For only 8 bucks, it's worth it - you'll probably save that much on >your first purchase alone. Well, I joined also, since both replies were favorable. My only purchase so far was 30 floppies, which I got within a week. They were some obscure brand, but the invoice says "lifetime warranty." This place sells everything at 8% above wholesale. Macintosh stuff too. Check it out.
