I ordered a couple parts for my telescope today...both from web retailers,
one was someones personal page on e-bay w/ paypal, the other was some
company I found after searching.  Within 10 minutes of ordering, I had
e-mails from both confirming the order - one automated, one from someone
in sales letting me know the item was backordered.  I replied, asking for
an ETA, he replied with lots of info, I replied back with a little joke
about the supplier (someone well known in astronomy clubs) which got a
small comment back.

I have found a retailer I like now.  Too bad the computer industry is too
cut-throat to have this kinda service.
