Anyone know a good trade supplier?

[Silvery]

Right, well, I've got the premises, I've got a good supply of second
user stock, but why oh why can I not find a reasonable supplier for the
new stuff I need?

At this rate I'll be buying stuff from the local shop to put in mine,
not the way I want to go!

So if anyone out there feels generous enough to put me on to a decently
priced trade outlet that covers the usual manufacturers and budget bits,
then could you possibly drop me a line?

Or suggest someplace I can get the info for myself, as the Net is slow
and useless ("Buy books on Trade Supplies"!) Business pages a dyed
version of the good old Yellow Pages, and I am reaching the end of my
tether...

Cheers,

Silvery

PS - I'll be using someone else's computer the next couple of days, so
email me if poss - I don't want to run up their bill downloading
hundreds of news messages!

IF you get CTO find some in their. If not, Ive heard Aria, are quite
good. Micro-direct, Dabs and CCLcomputers all do trade specific pricing
though so get in touch with them.
