Weight: 150 lbs. Hair: black Eyes: brown PC Connection is a mail order house in Marlow, New Hampshire. I see that in one of their latest ads, if you buy a combination of a Seagate hard disk and Western Digital controller for an XT, -- obviously the most commonly sold type of hard disk combo -- you get a free videotape instructing you on how to install the disk and board. This is so smart! They probably have had to field so many calls on how to do this because neither Seagate nor Western Digital supplies layperson-readable instructions with their stuff. The cost of producing and distributing the tape is probably not insignificant but it's probably cheaper than the phone calls it can prevent. Besides, it's more valuable for the customer. I have dealt with this company before and I really recommend it. They are very on-the-ball, as this shows. Their prices are always just a touch above rockbottom but there are no hidden handling or shipping costs, they are very fast, and the sales people KNOW THE MERCHANDISE. They are as good a value as is available.
