computing/techincal support experience in my life ever! I've bought a
few things here and there from them like cables and such but always
skiddish about buying another system. However, I think they were bought
out in 99 or 2000 so on paper, things seem better.
I'm a tech snob though. I don't like buying generic or off brand
accessories and systems. Besides, this is just getting written off on
taxes anyway so price really does not matter that much.

to stop him before he has to make lemonade)
