TSQD's newest DTP catalog a major improvement I just received my DTP (Desk Top Publishing) Direct catalog from TSQD, and I must say I am a little impressed. I have been receiving these since they started earlier this year, and this one is much better than past issues, which I have saved. You should call DTP Direct (800-331-7079) to get on the mailing list if you plan on playing TSQD for awhile. Front page features iMac ($1299), but there are several IBM laptops and IBM compatible desk tops, not just Mac stuff. Prices seem pretty good too. If anyone else gets this catalog, would love to see if you think this one is markedly better. I don't know squat about catalogs, but from the ones I've seen recently, this once is as good or better than others. Impressive graphics, great user interface (if you can call it that). Maybe TSQD is worth more than $0 + (0.?)DRIV. This catalog certainly doesn't look like it was done by a company on its way down. Downside might be that it cost a boatload to make it, and sales may not catch up to production costs. I should really cancel my subscription since I don't plan on buying anything soon. We'll see. Resigning CFO didn't appear to have much of an effect, I figure most folks see us at a bare bottom price already. IR cut may give DRIV and TSQD some stimulus tomorrow.
