Hey -- sounds "antique'y" to me ... don't leave it behind for the next

Eeegads -- were you in line w/me last night at the Post Office? Conducting a
user survey to see if they should open another late-night location ... and
this guy goes on and on about privatization, then the federal budget
deficit, then the trade balance, then ... yada yada yada, 3/4 opinion stated
as fact, with "facts" highly questionable!
RE CompUSA -- I'm a bit concerned that they are going to be "the only game
in town" for mass market retail, at least on a national basis, now that
they've absorbed ComputerCity. No "BEST" here in the NW. And who wants to
buy a *computer* from Future Shop or Circuit City?? And you know you won't
get SCSI II to SCSII III adapters at those two places ....

Well, good to know it's not my market <g> ... since it is OS and machine
independent.

And why do you need this?
