If you are trying during the week, try on Saturday, they're open, and
a lot less busy. Also, if you try calling like 1/2 hour before closing
on a weekday, and you're lucky enough to get a hold message, your call
will be answered. They are really busy, though... If you have a catalog
you could try their fax number to place an order. I have a flyer here,
and they are open until 6pm Pacific, Mon-Sat. I don't know of any other
places that have such a deal, and I think Egghead's taking a loss on Dos
sales, so that may be why no one else has it so low, but they are doing
some big business here...
Again, std disclaimers apply here...
