Surely there is a discount computer store or even a Wal-Mart within an hour's drive for almost everyone in Canada and the USA that people have to buy a computer through the mail. A PC is such a tech thing, that as a person who runs a department maintaining 10,000 computers for a school district, I can't believe that a person would buy a high tech item like a PC, with dozens of things that can go wrong without having spoken to a person face to face about it and actually seen what they are getting before they buy it. With the mail order companies getting 20% of the systems they sell back in most cases, I would think most people are better off to pay a little more and buy local instead of trying to save every last dime and taking such a big chance on trouble. Just my opinion, but I buy 500 to 1000 computers every year. -- Dan Fraser From Beautiful British Columbia in western Canada ANTI SPAM - Remove the REMOVE_THIS_TO_REPLY from the return E-mail address before replying.
