I have been a ZUG member for quite some time now.  Yes, you are correct,
they did move the board to Illinois.  However, NONE of the staff went 
with the board.  If you follow the tone of the messages, you will find
agreement with my position that COM1 no longer provides the level
of service to Zenith user's that it used to.  You will not receive any
where near the level of technical help that you would expect.  

You will find that a core group of the original support staff let go
by ZDS now operates a board called T.E.C.H. at (219) 654-3210.  Not
that I am endorsing this board, but those operating it do have the ability
to answer your questions.  

Ron - I'd disagree that COM1 offers "pretty good bargains".  Many, many
messages have been sent out to the effect that their prices are either
at educational discount, or very near what the new ZDS Direct Catalog
prices are.  I believe that most of us are holding out - you CAN buy
a better machine for a better price from DELL or COMPAQ.  And most 
importantly, get a warranty.  Yes, some prices are pretty good - if it 
were new equipment.  But, for the most part, it's used.  

However, that's just my humble opinion.  Mr. Petsori (ZDS president)
has ignored my thoughts, fell free to do the same.
