Re: Quality Computers (was FAXination Update)

I feel like I need to speak up in support of Jerry on the hard drive 
issue.  Admittedly, hard drives for Apples from Quality are more 
expensive than you can get elsewhere.  But many of the people on here are 
underestimating the value of the support they give to the users.  Most of 
the Apple II users here on csa2 are pretty technically savvy, otherwise 
we wouldn't have had the know-how to get here.  We already know how to 
hook up a hard drive, format it, and install software (and if we don't, 
we can always ask here).  I would guess that most of Quality's customers 
are not here on csa2, and are more on the computer-illiterate end of the 
spectrum.  Quality does a good job of making their drives "plug-n-play" 
with pre-installed software, printed documentation, tutorial video, and 
telephone support, all of which costs money.  If you don't need that 
level of support, then don't buy your drives from Quality.  But don't 
flame them either.
