[TriLUG] looking for PCI video card

[al johnson]

OK, I have some great news for you concerning a little known fact about 
Intrex (No I don't work for them!!). If they don't have the hardware you'd 
like to have, they will be happy to order one from the web and install it for 
you. I had to do this to find a decent Linux modem. I picked out the model I 
wanted, Scott (at the Cary store) ordered it for me and they installed it for 
free. So go on the web and select several cards which you would be happy with 
and ask Scott if he will order one for you!! --Al Johnson.
P.S. Naturally I don't have any experiences with their other stores.
