Me three: Larry has always been a great guy to deal with. I recall that one time he
forgot to ship something, and once I brought it to his attention he apologized profusely
and upgraded the shipping at his own expense.
Stuff does happen in people's lives, and I would bet that your negative experience was
an oversight. -- Ian

In defense of Larry, I've done a boatload of business with him over the last 6 years
or so, and know him personally. Larry deals with this merchandise for the money, not love
of old computers, and can drive a hard bargain, but I've always known him to be a
decent fellow. He's been in the minicomputer sales/service/legacy support business
for many years, and takes pride in being more than a hi-tech junk dealer, even though
there's not much left of the product lines he supports. He has aggressively downsized
his business in the last couple of years, and disposed of most of his inventory already.
The facilities are not what they used to be, and the business is, AFAIK, a one-man show at
this point. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a bit less organized and on top of
things as before, but you likely experienced an isolated incident. I certainly
wouldn't hesitate to do business with Larry again.
