Sadly, the *reason* for changes like this is that stores like the one you used to work at (and the one I used to work at) are going the way of the dinosaur. This is simply a recognition of that reality. I think the days of sales reps who visit local stores (and I mean this in general - not just Pentax and, in fact, not just the camera business) are numbered. Welcome to the 21st century and the era of the Big Box retailer. :( (Ironic that the "dinosaur" analogy breaks down here because it's the lumbering giants that are out-evolving the smaller, nimbler shops...) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
