Let me tell you a funny story I heard in my retailing days:
One time in the dear, dim past, a salesperson for a manufacturer of ps cameras

stores before anyone realized that neither the batteries nor the case were not
Is this fact or speculation? Pentax Canada experienced both their highest
profits and largest volume of sales in the company's history, fueled by their
profits on Optio sales. It's possible that Japan could sell to North America
at a loss, but it would be a really bad idea, especially since

The white buttons on the jersey. Glad someone noticed! ; )
What's funny about all of this is that I didn't understand any of the
