While my experiences with MacConnection are excellent, they are no better or
worse than my (far more numerous) experiences with ComputerWare, which, being
in Palo Alto, is definitely a West Coast operation.  Their selection is 
extensive, prices reasonable, they don't charge until they ship, and always
let you know when something will have to be backordered.  They are truly a
class operation as well.  You shouldn't classify things regionally the way
you did because there is a mail order facility in the East that is as bad
as any of them -- but that doesn't mean that every house in the East blows,
just that the one does.  ComputerWare takes returns to the extent allowed by
the manufacturers and has even shipped replacements before the originals were
returned.
