I don't remember the place ur talking about, but I like Hi-Q and I hate
Case Computers.

If ur going south on I-85 and get off at Jimmy Carter, u go left at the 
end of the ramp, going back over the Interstate, and it's located sorta 
behind the Varsity, in an office park. I'd give ya their 800#, but I'm 
not at home now.

I like their customer support pretty well. I had trouble with a tape 
drive once and they had a new one on my doorstep the next day, without 
waiting for me to return the defective one (and without asking for my 
credit card #)

good luck :)
