and THAT concept is one of my BIGGIEST BITCHES of being FORCED to having
to use the goddamn "channel"!

I have actually had a BP tell me he wouldn't sell me a part that was ONLY
available through the channel because there wasn't any margin in it for
him....BUT, if I was interested in a system upgrade or some software, he
would think about it...

That's for the record and IT SUCKS!
