[OPLINTECH] Where do you buy technology stuff?

[Mann, James H.]

I feel compelled to put in another plug for Access Interactive. Access
sells off lease systems and things like new monitors and we have been
using them for solutions where we can afford to live with a two-year-old
system or an "expendable" laptop.
For new systems I seem to be in my HP/Compaq phase but I think this is a
function of getting good pricing from CDW-G. BTW: CDW-G seems to have a
new rep assigned to Ohio and she was very good in handling an order this
week.

Be sure that you are getting quoted the State contract pricing from
CDW-G.  The prices aren't always the same as what you see online or in
their catalogs. We use them for small orders and they are excellent and
quick. 
For computers we either go right to Dell Govt Support contact or our HP
authorized vendor.

I buy a lot from CDW-G (excellent service and easy to order from), and
I've started buying from GlobalGovEd a little.  I've noticed in a few
cases that I can get things cheaper from Amazon or NewEgg, but as far as
I can tell these guys require payment up front and my library doesn't
have a credit card (I use mine sometimes but I prefer not to).  So:

1.  What vendors do you use for misc. technology purchases?

2.  Does your library have a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) that you
can use for these things?

Thanks.

Phil
