- MacConnection advertises in all the major Macintosh publications (have
- for a long time). They usually are not the lowest possible price but
- they have a terrific reputation for service. Successful businesses
- often expand. If YOU were running MacConnection wouldn't you think
- investing some of the profits into a PC Connection would be a good idea?
- Why advertise when word-of-mouth brings in so much business (there are
- LOTS of examples of companies that went bankrupt trying to expand too
- quickly; maybe Mac/PC Connection is smart not to advertise heavily in PC
- magazines too soon)?
