- I'd like to add my two cents to this. Actually, Egghead software is pretty
- decent in terms of Mac stuff. They have a decent, up-to-date selection, and
- their prices are ALMOST as good as mail order prices, and when you add in
- the shipping costs, the prices are virtually the same. The good thing about
- Egghead is that you can actually look at the box, and if you still have doubts,
- they open the game and run it on their computer so you can actually play it
- a bit before you buy it. AND, they have a good return policy in case you don't
- like the game.

- CompUSA used to be pretty good, but at least in my area, their Mac software
- selection has recently gone to hell. They were great a few months ago.
-
- Nevertheless, I still end up buying >80% of my software and stuff from
- mail order places. But we do really need some stores we can drive to.
