  34. Due to the extraordinary length of this file, and because of the
  35. maintenance requirements that I didn't have time for, I have
  36. placed the FAQ on the World Wide Web. It is now available at:
  37.  
  38.        http://www.cmhc.com/computers/comtrade.htm
  39.  
  40. Individuals can also add to the file from this page.
  41. The file is extremely lengthy, so it may take a while 
  42. to download. But if you're considering buying from 
  43. this company, it's definitely worth the wait.
  44.  
  45. This Web site, the Online Computer Buying Guide, also
  46. hosts a number of additional information files on
  47. people's experiences with different mail order vendors.
  48. These currently include:
  49.  
  50.         Comtrade
  51.         Dell
  52.         Gateway 2000
  53.         Midwest Micro
  54.  
  55. Additional vendors will follow in due time.
