In this situation, just take it up with your credit card company if you bought using your credit card. Otherwise, you're in trouble, no?
I purchased some items from Monarch Computer before they went tits-up. Some of it arrived, but the PSU wasn't anywhere to be seen other than 'Back Order' I called again and found the number wasn't working. I went to the site and it looked in dis-repair. "Uh oh" They had charged my card immediately upon order, not upon shipping as is usual practice. I checked a few forums and the concensus was they wear shut down. I contacted American Express, they granted a refund on my account immediately and then took it up with Monarch. They got their money back from Monarch and notified me in about 6 weeks. If I'd paid with a MO or PayPal transfer I'd have been S.O.L.
Agreed, the CPU war is good, however, I'd rather be running a 64bit CPU, such as an Alpha. OT: Car companies have and we have benefitted. Oh, ye of short memory. Compare todays cars to the clunkers of the 1960's. They may have had style, but that was it. Reliability was up to how handy you were with a wrench.

His sticker said "Beef Cake" and he wore it on his back.
