- Curious coincidence, isn't it? :-) (Stevedennis is still around at

- I found that out the day Egghead opened their first Houston location: the
- first thing I saw when I walked in was ProComm Plus 2, at a *sale* price
- $10 higher than I could find it at CompUSA. End of that trip...but the junk

- Chaneyhall deserves to put forth a little effort to *earn* their money...:-)
