	<FIRST> I have never dealt with PCs Limited.
	<SECOND> I do think such service is a *lot* worse than other mail
	order houses.  I have dealt with numerous mail order houses and gotten
	much better service than has been described in the previous messages
	about PCs Limited.  For instance, when I ordered my 30M hard disk from
	PC Source the unit was delivered one working week after calling.
	Further, my credit card was not charged to until the drive was actually
	shipped (the day after I called).
