We put the internationally awe-inspiring name ACME on ours ;>)

I think I know the place you're referring to -- "You're in luck cause we only
have one of these babies left . . . it was the floor model . . . my boss told
me to find it a good home . . . somebody like you . . . can have it for $$$"

Fortunately we have a great relationship with one of these establishments --
if they can't shake all the money out of someone by selling them a new box,
they send them to us to repair their old unit. They also don't sell fans,
odd cables, etc., but we do, and we sell stuff out of our junk bin every day
from their referrals. I guess they deserve their place in the food chain too.

Anyway thanks for the clarification and I'm glad to know you don't paint us
all with the same brush ;>)
