The Computer Zone seems to be intent on spamming this list on a regular
basis.

In reading over many of the posts that have accumulated on this list,
most of the members do not do business with companies which
inappropriately spam this list.  Occasional postings from a business
(say, every 2 weeks) seem to tolerated if there is significant news or
value to the Palm Pilot community.

I visited the Computer Zone web site ( http://www.lightning-ics.com/cz )
to get a phone number in order to call and tell them that.  The web site
is cluttered (IMO), has numerous spelling errors and some dead links,
and doesn't appear to be company which has been in business for very
long (or with much original funding).

They offer no 800 # on their web site, and the toll-number listed is not
being answered at this time (Friday 1:15pm PDT).

I'm not sure that I would be interested in doing business with this
company.  Any other comments?
