Jim,

In the September issue of PCWORLD Magazine, they rate 12 online sites to buy
computer equipment. Here is the online article:

I don't know about Googlegear, but after reading this article, I wouldn't
touch TigerDirect with a 10 foot pole. Good prices aren't always the last
word in computer shopping. Read it and judge for yourself.

I like Pricewatch.com to compare prices, then check out the vendor's
policies.

Good Luck,

Dennis Thiel

A couple of companies that seem to have a great variety and good prices are
"Tigerdirect" and "Googlegear". However, I don't know anything about either
one. Because this is my first venture into this type of thing, I am
skeptical about everything.

appreciated.
