...they keep their prices very reasonable and are friendly; I have 
purchased HW from AAI for a full decade - they used to have a store on 
San Pedro between Oblate and Jackson-Keller.  I still have a tendency to 
avoid shopping online - something about being able to go back and see 
the PEOPLE you purchased from is nice!  :-)
I have a friend [Storey] who purchases everything from PC-Express (?) or 
something - near Isom and 281, but several times I have checked prices 
and always found AAI to be as good or better - and you can walk in off 
the street and make a purchase without setting up an account and all 
that malarky.
