MacConnection advertises in all the major Macintosh publications (have
for a long time).  They usually are not the lowest possible price but
they have a terrific reputation for service.  Successful businesses
often expand.  If YOU were running MacConnection wouldn't you think
investing some of the profits into a PC Connection would be a good idea?
Why advertise when word-of-mouth brings in so much business (there are
LOTS of examples of companies that went bankrupt trying to expand too
quickly; maybe Mac/PC Connection is smart not to advertise heavily in PC
magazines too soon)?
