- I just sent off the check for my PB 160 to MBS. The prices they have are
- quite competive with what the UofA charges, in PowerBooks, that is. They have
- high prices for desktops.
-
- Examples :
-
- 145 4/40 1907
- 145 4/80 2225
- 160 4/40 2161
- 170 4/40/modem 3616
-
- compared with the UofA :
-
- 145 4/40 1859
- 145 4/80 2175
- 160 4/40 2111
-
- When you compare $20 for shipping from MBS against 7% sales tax at my campus
- seller, MBS comes out ahead (at least for my 160).
-
- Their number is (800) 944-3808 or (301) 762-7405, and the address is
-
- 7503 Standish Place
- Rockville, MD 20855
-
- I have no affiliation, I'm just a customer anxiously awaiting his new PB!
