	An excellent example of why it can be worth it to buy from
LOCAL mom&pop shops.  Typically we know what we're talking about (or
will find out what we don't know); certainly know how to talk on the
phone; will be more receptive to helping you.
	It's like I tell potential clients of my wife (who owns a
housekeeping business): if you get a SERVICE, you get a girl getting
paid $7.50/hour to clean your house and 10 others. If you go with an
independant you get someone who's LIVELIHOOD depends on your
satisfaction.  It's the same with mom&pop shops.  We LIVE because we
depend as much on REPEAT business as the initital sale.  Support your
local merchant.
	Unfortunately, some of the LOCALs can suck, too.  But at least
you can scream at 'em from ACROSS THE COUNTER - NOT ACROSS THE PHONE
LINE!
