I thought I would share another positive story about the people over
at MacConnection. I called Monday night at 11:30, because I only had
the number around and not the magazine I had gotten it from. I forgot
that they were here in New Hampshire, and thought I might get an answer
because of a time difference to somewhere out West where it wasn't so late.

It turns out I got them on their first night of keeping the order lines
open until =1:00AM, EST.= Apparently the only people they keep around are order
takers, so if you've got extensive questions, call back earlier in the
day. I also got someone who was on her first night "officially" taking
calls; I don't know whether it was her first time, or her first "night",
but she was more than friendly. Even when I transposed 2 digits in
an item number, and trying to be friendly, mentioned their photos in
the ads (oops! MacWarehouse!). She said it would probably ship on
Wedneday. No big deal; how urgent is After Dark, some floppies and a
TurboMouse?

Speaking of After Dark...
How easy is it to follow their "technical info." to make my own new
screensavers? I've been reading since June and have seen no mention.
Have I missed something? I don't even remember it in the magazines.

One interesting note: Terry at MacConnection seemed really confused
when she asked where I heard about them, and I said "Ads in magazines,
and you've been given high marks on Usenet/Internet." I tried briefly
to explain it...
