RE: [MLUG] Inferior States

["Brent Deterding" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Who cares about a few bucks when they have so much? I'll gladly pay a few bucks
more to support a store that brings that selection to my doorstep. Show me
anywhere else I can get a wide variety of network gear, motherboards, cases,
adapters, and so on? I would much rather go down the street to Fry's and support
them for offering that selection than order off the net and save $10.
