- The PC Connection ads are frequently five full pages or more (usually a
- left page plus both sides of a 4-face foldin) and usually have the company's
- raccoon logo character occupying one of the pages. They may not be the
- oldest mail-order PC supply house but they're certainly one of the oldest.

- Perhaps the best proof of how long they've been around is their WATS

- Their current catalog devotes the first two pages to a quick summary
- of the company's past ten years of business. And I can add my own
- endorsement of PC Connection; I've done occasional business with them
- for many years. Not always the absolute lowest price (the Ma Ferguson
- Storm Door and Computer Company in Empty Jug, Texas sometimes beats
- them by a dollar or so) but excellent service, fast response, and
- a Customer Service department which *doesn't* believe that the name is
- an oxymoron.
