They probably do use NeXTs and all the snazzy apps, but my main point  
there was more on the supervisors having different lists than the people  
who answer the phone.  But on paper/computer lists, I'm not sure, I'm just  
guessing.

This sounds like a great idea (if only *I* can access *my* order info),  
sure would make getting through the phone lines easier...but I would want  
to be sure to get up-to-date info about my order from this service.
