What happened finally with CompAmerica. I wish I saw this thread before I
ordered a PC from them(This time internetsurfer). It has the same story
line as yours. Borken Modem. No networking software. No MS-Win95 CD. Now
finally Broken HD. Noone returns calls. They pick up the phone and say
"Someone will call back or It is already shipped,  It is not part of your
Computer...etc...
