I ordered a computer from Steven W. Johnson of Oregon (sysop@ardvark.com
and http://www.ardvark.com/systems.htm). I pre-paid a portion of the cost
as he was using these monies to buy the parts. Everything seemed to check
out but delivery is now three weeks overdue. He won't return my e-mails
and I can't get get him on the telephone evn though his wife has taken
messages from me.

If you've dealt with him and have good or bad reports (he may just be out
of town or run of with my money - I DON'T KNOW), please reply to me. I'm
really just trying to ease my mind.

I may have been foolish in trusting someone I haven't dealt with in the
past but the last thing I want to have to do is involve the police in this
matter. If I have to involve the police, additional testament would help
my case.

Thanks in advance

I've built a number of systems... it only takes a week to get parts,
assemble and do a burn it.  Shipping from him should be four-five days
via UPS.  Outside is two weeks...  Call him or his wife and be firm,
with a date for delivery.  Followup with a certified, registered letter.
Any lapses on his part... call the local law enforcement.

Adrian,
Nice SIG... I hope you do more diligence and take more precaution at your work
than you do before buying over the internet.
Cheap shot..... Couldn't help it...
I apologize,
regards,
karl
