  I have been programing PC's for the last 8 years and recently,
because of a project got a good excuse to buy a MAC. Problem, is
I am not familiar at all with the reliable mail order houses in the
MAC world! I spoted an ad for a IIsi, 5 Mb ram, 105 Quantum HD, super
drive and standard keyboard for $3215. The seller is called 
"Mac Source". I also need to buy the co-processor expansion for it.

Could some of you be kind enough to mail me any experiences you had with
this company or refer me to others. If this is a FAQ, please forgive me
but I had never read the MAC groups.. Pointers to the FAQ archives would
also be very appreciated.

Either E-mail or postings to this group will be ok. I am becoming a regular
reader from now on ;-)

Thanks a bunch

Congratulations! & Welcome to the Mac world! (I went from PC to Mac
like you a few years ago, myself...)

I never had any dealings with Mac Source, but Mac Connection seems to be
by far the best ever mail order company, judging from the recent mail
order horror/hero stories thread. I personaly have only had good experi-
ences with them (other than the time it was my fault exercising poor
judgement buying something I didn't really need after staying up too
late too long too many days in a row 8-) They are the Mac branch of PC
connection.

I don't believe in flaming. If I appear to be flaming, either (a) it's an
illusion due to the lack of nonverbal cues or (b) my sprinkler system has
suffered a momentary glitch, so just ignore me until it's fixed.
