One guy told me several things that were not true. He was inexperienced and would have done better by admitting that he didn't know. He was a nice guy though. A second guy had such a snobby, superior and unfriendly attitude that I wanted to report him to his supervisor. But he might have had his facts straight. A third guy was very helpful and actually managed to find a very clever and sneaky way to get me a driver that worked for a wireless card under XP x64. He had to work to dig that up and I really appreciated his effort. So, as John said, YMMV. But, if you want good prices, I would say that GNS has good prices for a local shop. I don't know if others are cheaper. How does Tran Micro compare? It would be easy to make a comparison because Tran is almost nextdoor. I have the impression that GNS has more in stock than Tran does. Mike
