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...
