This further cnvinces me that there are really TWO Zeos companies
out there.  The one I deal with 90%+ of the time, and then the
OTHER Zeos.

	I've had great luck with their 24 hour support, calling 
literally all hours of the day and usually having very good luck
getting through.  In fact, I've had better luck in the wee
hours.

	I've found the OTHER Zeos deals mostly with shipping 
replacement parts.  They live in a different universe.  Their day
is equivalent to our week.  So, when they say 3-4 days, expect 
several weeks.

	(Though funny enough, the last several "special order"
machines I've purchased (I usually get the Computers Now for
24-48 hours turnaround) have shown up BEFORE I was told
they would.  So I haven't had checks ready. :-)
