- P.C. Connection has moved its advertising somewhat upscale over the
- years they've been in business.
-
- I concur with all the raves, though I have similar feelings about
- PC-Zone/Mac-Zone in Seattle. They are sometimes a little more
- expensive than PC Connection, but they accept American Express cards,
- which leaves me with a free doubled warranty. I recently paid $20 more
- from them for a Colorado Memory Systems CMS250 tape drive because $20
- seemed cheap to me for an additional 1 year warranty on something with
- rotating parts. So I always price both places and decide on price
- together with my judgement of the utility of the warranty extension.
-
- Now if only the American Express Buyer Protection plan covered
- software upgrades too......
