- The last PC Magazine had 6 pages of advertizing starting on page 300 which
- is about there normal layout. They also advertise in PC Week with
- a newspaper size 2 page spread.

- I didn't catch what the other comments were about PCC but they are the only
- people I deal with for mainstream software and hardware. I can order it
- today and have it in hand tommorow AM for $5 shipping. About a month ago
- I ordered a 105 MB hardcard for $60 less than I could find it elsewhere. I
- placed the order at midnight CDT and had it in hand 10 hours later! That
- certainly beats the run around that you usually get from mail order
- sources :-(
