Service?  Ha, providing customer service is too expensive for a modern 
company.  I did like having a place nearby that sometimes had the parts 
I needed when something broke.  The problem with mail order is that it 
always takes a long time to get the stuff you ordered.  I'm pricing 
stuff on newegg right now and it's a bit tempting.  An NVMe drive 4 
times larger than my current SSD is $50, but I'd have to buy a new 
board, CPU, and RAM to go around it, and that'd be like $550 in total.  
Moot point, I don't have time to spend putting a new machine together 
until the middle of March.
