In my opinion, one of the best-kept mail order secrets is Safe Harbor in Wisconsin. It is a small outfit, but their stock is growing all the time. Excellent prices. The best news is the service. Mary is very helpful in getting you what you want. She has tracked down a number of unusual things for me. Twice now she has gotten me software that no other place in the country could get for me. Apparently she is very persuasive in calling companies, etc. And all at discount prices! When she has not been able to fill the order right away, she sends postcards to me about once a week just to let me know she is still chasing things down. She has called me without my asking just to update me on orders. And when she gets it in (or has it in stock) it is sent out immediately. Frankly I have rarely received better attention from any retailer anywhere. I do not know Mary and am not in any way associated with Safe Harbor. They run a little ad in the back of AmigaWorld. 1-800-544-6599. PCPursuit-able BBS is 414-544-6567. I hope she stays in business as long as I own an Amiga! - Ned ======================================================== = "Ever groan with the guru in the pale moonlight?" = = Ned W.

Mary is very >helpful in getting you what you want. 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. > I do not know Mary and am not in any way associated with Safe Harbor. > ... I hope she stays in business as long as I own an Amiga! Ditto. > ... They run a little ad in the back of AmigaWorld. ... Look it up. Prices on some items are very competitive. Flip side, joe piazza --- "Where's my other sock?" A. Einstein CS Dept.
