Hey ED!
The larger and the more expensive an item is makes a big
difference. I don't need to pay an extra hand a days wages to help lug
a 19 inch set around nor do I need a big expensive truck to haul it
around either. And it is nice to have a little more money in the bank
just in case the hired hand scratches the screen and you have to
purchase a new one. Bye now. Jay
