In the February, 1993 Issue of _PC World_, in the Consumer Watch column,
it reads:

[In response to a question about RiteMicro:]

RiteMicro is a subsidiary of FastMicro, a company that has been the subject
of dozens of letters to Consumer Watch over the past year and for which
we continue to receive complaints. . . .

The Better Business Bureau in Phoenix (the city in which both FastMicro
and RiteMicro are located), gives both companies an unsatisfactory rating
and does not condone or recommend purchasing from them due to unresolved 
complaints, according to a spokesperson.

Effective with the January 1993 issue neither RiteMicro nor FastMicro
advertises in _PC World_.
