PERSONAL NOTES
• I have been very happy with SHOPPING PLANET, MWAVE
and MIDWEST MICRO, three of the vendors I have used
more than one time... I also have no problems
recommending MONSTERBOX PC and MONARCH COMPUTER,
since a couple of my colleagues have had success
with those vendors, and I have a lovely server from
MONARCH running at home.
• Many of these tech sites have Discussion Boards or
Forums.
