Bobby,
Hmm, I wonder if I had confused Dirt Cheap Drives with someone else. I do
know that I only called a few places, and one distinctly said to me several
times "We work from the house here, call anytime". I could have sworn it
was DCD, but according to what you're saying I'm wrong. Perhaps it was
"Computers At Large". Thanks for clearing that up, anyway!

Bill, Please remember that many people read these messages and not all read
the entire thread. By reading your first message, some people will have
gotten the wrong information on one company. Now you say that the company
was, PERHAPS, "Computers At Large". You may well be right on your comments
on the second company; I do not know. However there are people who may not
have seen the correction and who now may also thing the PERHAPS wrong
information about a second company. IMHO FACTS, not PERHAPS should be used
here. CIS is too valuable, and company reputations are too hard to obtain
and maintain, for something like this to happen. This does not mean not to
"blast" a company that has not done all that they should to gain and
maintain your appreciation but to make sure that company that has done
nothing wrong is not accidentally badmouthed. My comments are not rally
towards you but offered as general comments knowing how hard SOME companies
work to earn YOUR respect.

Hal,
You're right, that's dangerous stuff and I would never want to badmouth a
company that doesn't deserve it! I'm a very active consumer, letter writer,
etc, and think that companies that work hard deserve recognition, and those
that do a poor job deserve to be badmouthed so others know to stay away.
I feel bad that I might have used Dirt Cheap Drives as the name of the
company that works out of their home, although I have heard some negative
press on them here even if they do have three floors in some office
building. It's the reason that I didn't buy from them – some folks here
were pretty disgruntled with their support/service!
I don't feel bad that I said PERHAPS the company that works out of their
home is Computers At Large because I did say PERHAPS and anyone that can
read and is halfway intelligent can see that I wasn't sure. The other
reason is that this isn't a curse in itself (working out of the home), I do
it myself! Because I didn't consider this piece of information to be a
strong negative, I don't worry about the comment. In fact, several folks
here have bought the Texel from Computers At Large and are quite happy with
them. I was impressed myself that they were very honest about the fact that
they work from the home and said "Call any hours"!
Anyway, that's why I don't think my 'perhaps' is such a big deal <g>.
Bill
