So,...we will be left with Wal-Mart, Home Depot, UPS, and IBM.
Man,...that makes for a LOVELY  world.

BTW;...there is nothing to stop me from troubleshooting the power supplies
and other component related failures that I can still scratch up a few parts
for, from our bone yards,...or,....somewhere. Are they going to make a
federal law that prohibits me from doing this ?
