Hi Buzz! Please let me know what you think of the martini set when it arrives. After going "shopping" at CSCO last night, I decided to go over to SUNW's site and see if they sold mugs and shirts. Ha ha ha! SUNW's store is like a BJ's warehouse in cyberspace compared to CSCO's Bloomindale's-like store. CSCO just has photos of the items--like a Williams-Sonoma catalogue--whereas SUNW has its employees model things, like some of the catalogues I receive from ma-pa fly fishing stores [as opposed to Orvis]. 1-99 SUNW t-shirts cost $9.80 whereas they only cost $6.90 each if 700 or more are ordered. The cheapest mug? $3.10 for one, $1.60 each for 3,250+!!! Bushnell binoculars only cost $29.90 if 200+ are ordered at a time. Free shipping. AND... SUNW even has a link so people can easily bid on SUNW things over at eBay!!! Oh, these companies make me laugh. SUNW is very, very smart to be going after the wholesale market for its binoculars, clothing, and yo-yo's. To me this shows they recognize that CSCO has the more upscale market tied up and are not going to bother competing. Think I'll only order a few mugs and one t-shirt from SUNW. Lynn

OT Buzz: tap, tap, tap... I'm still waiting for your report on the CSCO martini set you should have received Friday. Is it as nice as it looks in the photo at the MarketPlace? My fluted mug and t-shirts arrived today. Eric was right--the fluted mug is BIG. It is also manufactured in the U.S.A. If you are shy about making a reply that will require you to launch into poetry to amply describe that martini set, drop me a PM when you have a minute. After all, I have to keep my shareholder customer survey of CSCO store products up to date for next quarter when it our turn to again, buy, buy, buy as grateful shareholders, trying to do our part to keep those profits chugging along. While drinking Christmas tea from the truly Amazing CSCO mug (the fluted one is in the dishwasher)- Regards, Lynn
