Hello all,

Thought I'd put in my 2 cents also, I bought a new mb,memory video card,
floppy drive,cpu from A2Z a month ago or so now, paid by check, had no
problems, wasn't on hold more than a couple minutes, had a couple problems
which tech support walked me through, again no problems, I must be lucky
huh?? ordered my stuff on a Wendsday
Got it the next afternoon regular ups...worked for me. Sorry you all had
problems.
