A while back I sent in a query about an outfit called PC Network.  I
only got two responses:

Well, I joined also, since both replies were favorable.  My only purchase
so far was 30 floppies, which I got within a week.  They were some obscure
brand, but the invoice says "lifetime warranty."  This place sells
everything at 8% above wholesale.  Macintosh stuff too.  Check it out.
