- Ditto to this. I bought a couple of C= 16s from them for $25 apiece for the
- nostalgia value a few years back. Both shipped broken, though I eventually
- got one running. I have never heard a single good word about them. Avoid.

- I was *terrifically* pleased with Creative. I ordered a SupraRAM 500RX

- hours (overnight delivery costs something like $6-8 extra). Salespeople
- were very courteous. Two thumbs up.
