Here I thought I was the only one being shafted by these people.
I ordered $150 of ST software from them.  When I placed the order, they said thesoftware that I wanted was *IN STOCK*  I asked 2 different times to make sure
there was no confusion.  They said since the software I wanted was in stock,
it would ship the same day.  It has been *WEEKS* since I ordered the software
and I still have not received it.  Their customer service people give me
a song and dance about their computers being down and delaying the order.

I strongly urge people to think twice before lifting the phone to call these
people to place an order.  There are reputable outfits out there that will
give you good prices and good service.  So far I have not gotten either
from S&S.

Has anybody done a survey of people on this newsgroup to find out how
different mail order outfits perform?  I think it is time we did such a 
survey.  I will work up a form and send it out to the group next week,
compile the results and report to the group.
