ZP and All, I order almost everything online and have for several years. I know the UPS man on first name basis and he comes to my house every other day. The net is the place for educated consumers. Same risks and traditional mail order. Credit card fraud doesn't cross my mind. There are dozens of easier ways to steal cards... I have had bad expereiences but the good outweigh the bad. The bad ones only get my business once, The good ones all the time. I just looked at my financial statements for 1998 and my business bought over $30,000 in equipment alone. Fries is has trmemendous selection and sometime bargains but customer service is a problem. never buy sale memory from Fries.... That said I still wish they had em on the east coast... Sean

ZP; Agreed; research done, just click. I did that ordering the printer from buy.com. With the bundle, there were a lot of additional components & I wanted to walk through my choices. TC does have online ordering; suspect they may have evolved into it, so also have an 800 #. Buy.com does not have an 800 #. They give you one for inquiries after you place an order. As someone had indicated that they planned to call TC on Monday, I thought to post that calls can be made on weekends. Also that anyone with expertise (esp from this thread) might find the person responding a bit dim or might get lucky. If anyone wants to call, it took me about 45 mins to get thru. Sunday was faster. Looks like an up opening! d. alexander ps about how many people on the thread do you think have operating overclocked celerons?
