Is it worth going? When I first started putting computers together, this is where I began. I was awestruck by the sheer volume of electronic gadgetry. The sight of all that electronics was truely heart-warming. As my knowledge about computers and their components grew, the less I came to value the "Super Computer Sale" and the more I appreciated local vendors. There certainly are good deals to be found at the SCS, as well as on line at PriceWatch.com, etc. I enjoy the personal attention and accessibility of local vendors, and I'll pay the slight markup. If I have a problem with my equipment, I can avoid shipping charges that I would otherwise have with an out-of-state vendor. The SCS is a cool thing to attend, if only once. Beyond that, it's really only good for entertainment value. Don't expect too much. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Get my public key, ICQ#, etc. Send email w/the Subject: "get help"
