Ahm, okay. That's what I thought :)

That, and for anyone buying these types of things regularly, they don't always
have them in stock. Pricewatch, and other web based suppliers are fine for
one time orders, or ordering very rarely, but if you need something
consistantly, there's nothing better than establishing a good relationship
with a vendor you know, like, and trust! In the long run, it's usually far
more cost effective too. Unfortunately, it would be tough to quantify that
savings until you actually ran out of tapes and discovered there was a 4 week
lead time from PC-Connection :)
>This wasn't exactly a scientific survey, if you know what I mean. :-)
But I thought everything you read on the web or in e-mail was true and
accurate! You mean you lied to me? :)
