So how do you manage to sell the latest thing and make a profit?  Do you 
have to sell last month's model when you still have it in stock, or do 
have a contract that allows you to return parts that have become obsolete? 
This is something I have not understood about the business -- if you keep 
tings in stock, don't you run a risk (a high risk, I'd think) of actually 
*losing* money?
