Most genial listers, I had a chance to contact one of the advertisers on our list. I experienced the tick of death in the power supply of one my docks. Initially, I was going to take the plunge and replace the capacitor myself. Circumstances and more than a dozen years since using a soldering iron caused me to reconsider that decision. (OK. I just chickened out.) I thought I might help support the list by contacting Midwest Mac Parts <http://www.midwestmac.com> since my time might be worth the $59 dollars they were asking. I first went to the web site and saw the list price for a new power supply was $125 with no mention of a trade-in. There was no way to order or get clarification on-line. I called the 888 number listed in the add. I first talked with Dave who said that only the $125 price applied. I was then switched to Dennis who told me he never authorized the advertisement on our list and that the $59 price was not valid. It was a brief but interesting exchange. Just thought you might be interested. Bill Qui docet discit (The one who teaches learns.) ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
