I just remembered that a query about local computer dealers
was posted a few months ago by Frank Hecker, whose summary
I kept and repost here. Interestingly, his list has no firms
in common with those summarized by Randall Schrickel...

Thanks to all those who responded to my request for recommendations on
where to buy PCs in the Maryland/DC/Virginia metro area.  Here are the
results thus far:

Computer stores recommended were:

        Computer Express Services (Baltimore MD)
        Computer Express (Edgewood MD, presumably different than the above)
        MBS (Gaithersburg, Maryland)
        CompUSA (Rockville MD, Laurel MD, Vienna VA, and elsewhere)
        Beltron (Beltsville MD)
        Price Club Warehouse (no location given)
        The Computer Place (Gaithersburg MD)

Also recommended as individuals were Byron Smith and Mark Prado.

VF Associates in Bethesda MD was recommended by one person but another
person thought their service had deteriorated.  I also got
recommendations to avoid buying from Sears and Southwest Computer
Warehouse.
