| From the Field - Kenneth Bell |
In this special issue of the Desktop News, we spotlight some
of the sales heros used by NOLA and available to NOLA members. Although all have online
catalogs, be sure to call our dedicated account reps, as they can almost always pass along
better pricing to NOLA members. Of course, be sure to tell them you are a NOLA member!

A little known secret in Ohio makes for great savings for
libraries. Fastrack is located in Sunbury, a few
miles northeast of Columbus. As libraries qualify for Microsoft Education pricing,
Fastrack is able to extend education pricing on nearly all other software products. The
savings are enormous compared to even discount mail order firms. The website is not
terribly helpful, be sure to ask for a catalog. Our rep. at Fastrack is Dan Downing. The
number to call is (800) 927-3936 |

Thaddeus; not to hard to remember. Its the name of our dedicated
govt. account rep. at Microwarehouse. This mail
order company has offices in Ohio and has grown to being one of the largest and most
respected catalog shops. They provide cheap shipping and typically stock most anything you
are looking for. The online catalog is awesome. Phone number is: (800) 696-1727 ext 7030,

I stumbled upon Legend
Micro recently and have been extremely pleased and surprised. First of all, they are
pushing hard to adopt the Dell/Gateway online purchasing model. The one stop shopping is
great. Prices are phenomenal, and the choice of name brand components is very good. The
neat thing is that this nationally recognized company is right in our backyard. Located in
Akron, they have a fairly good sized building and are cranking out computers like you
would not believe. Our dedicated rep. is Mark Walsh and he can be reached at (800)
