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 ? LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main "Where there's a will,...
