For example, PC Connection had Quick C 1.0 for a long time before they advertised it; the demand from their customers (who didn't know PC Connection had QC until they called) outstripped their supply for a few months. And many mail order houses will accept orders for products they don't have in yet. (This is a feature only with good mail order firms.) I'd also like to (again!) state my personal satisfaction with PC Connection. I've always been astounded with their speed and knowledge. Highly recommended. -Paul S. R.
