I have learned from a source here in Ann Arbor that claims Commodore has
stopped shipments of hardware to Microworld the parent of MCS the mail-
order firm here in Michigan. Since I heard this 2nd hand I can NOT state
this as a fact but if you are ordering or waiting for Hardware from MCS,
I would confirm that they have the item in-Stock before placing your
order.

I have been shopping for a 2 meg board for my A500 for the past month, and have called several mail order companies. All were ready and eager to take my order. Being smarter than that, I first asked, "Do you have this part in stock?" After a delay while the courteous sales rep consults whatever resources they have, the rep would reply "Sorry, we do not." Then I would ask, "Do you carry this product?" Another check, "I'm sorry sir, it seems we don't" Now what buisness do these people have being all-fired eager to take my order on a product they don't even carry! To make matters worse, every time I call a company back, a different sales rep. feeds me a different story! I don't mean to knock or flame mail-order companies; I have done excellent business with several in the past. I just urge all of you out there to get specific information (is it in stock, is it back ordered, how long before you can ship it to me, do you even carry the $%$@ thing?) before you read your VISA number to them, or however you plan to make restitution.
