In response to the article about MicroD - I have dealt with them in the past and found them to be extremely reasonable. I have also dealt with Idiots at the U of T computor store and found them to be very unhelpful. They would pass the buck to any distributor they could and not support any products very well. I can understand the response of MicroD. They are just a distributor and U of T isn't a customer of theirs. Why should they support UofT's customers then?. Rudeness is one thing, but if you had people calling up to get support for a product you didn't sell - wouldn't you get pissed off. Retailers are there to support products - thats why they make a 35-50% markup on products. Distributors make on average 10-20% because they are there to deal with retailers - not the public. /leonard
