Hi, again! Thanks for all the replies about color monitors. And now,
for yet another question that's been seen before, so please e-mail
replies...
I'm looking for advice on "good" versus "bad" mail-order houses for
Mac hardware. I'll leave the specific of what sort of hardware open.
I'd just like to hear horror or happiness stories that you might have
had when trying to order hardware mail-order, and any specific
recommendations you might have for or against a particular merchant.
Thanks, again, in advance!

Everything I've heard (as far as lots of hardware is concerned) indicates that MacZone is the best choice. Personally, I like MacConnection best, but their hardware selection is very limited. -- \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | / - Michael weiss@seas.ucla.edu | School of Engineering & Applied Science - - Weiss izzydp5@oac.ucla.edu | University of California, Los Angeles - / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | \

In a recent thread here (Mail-order hero/horror stories, or something like that) quickly turned into a well-deserved lovefest for MacConnection. Alliance Peripherals gets similar praise from customers in the storage market (hard disks and tape drives). I don't know of any hardware vendors that offer a broad range of products with reputations of this magnitude. --Carl Alexander | BCS*Mac News Editor, The Active Window | The Boston Computer Society cjeff@silver.lcs.mit.edu | Macintosh Users Group

What about Mac CPUs ?? Any recommended mail order places ? How do most of these places handle warranties since the majority of the organizations which sell CPUs are not authorized Apple dealers ?? -- Charles Johnson Intel Corporation Supercomputer Systems Division MS CO1-01 15201 NW Greenbrier Pkwy Beaverton, OR 97006 phone: (503)629-7605 email: cfj@ssd.intel.com
