Bloom >Editor, SoftWorlds for Children >geb@halcyon.com To answer your #3, MacConnection does do indeed deliver on Saturdays. When you order you must specify that you want Saturday delivery. I have had all my items delivered on Saturdays. Although Air Borne that does their delivery cannot give you a specific time of delivery, only between the hours of 10:00am and by 5:00pm.
