Has anyone seen the prices go down since fuel is half (or less ) than what it was then? How about petroleum based products? My observation is that no, no one that previously had raised their prices has lowered them to what they were (or less). </on soapbox> Hugo 03:23 PM 12/15/2008, you wrote: >First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List >....................................................................... .. >I hesitate to post this on one hand because I like to support the >mainstream vendors so they can stay in business.
