- BottomLine (located here in Austin) has an ad in MacUser's buyer's
- guide. They list the Supra for $285. However, I have a real problem
- with a mail-order house that uses a 900 number. The ad lists a fax
- line (512-476-6399). Do as you see fit.
-
- The terms list a minimum $5 shipping fee; TX residents pay 8% tax.
- Mail in orders are accepted(?)

-
- Yes, the guy in MS is for real. I have a running dialog going with
- him including references which I have verified through e-mail. Ask
- me and I will forward as much of the information to you as you
- request.
