I went to that web site but had a couple of problems...one is that
there's no link to see what computer products they have (under
construction?) - the other problem is that their e-mail link
(info@activesurplus.com) brings up an e-mail window with a completely
different e-mail address, but neither one works...I got e-mail bounces
on both addresses to ask about their computer products.

Is that just me, or have other people had success looking at their
computer stuff on the web?
