PT, A retail phenomenon in the UK and some other parts of Europe is the sale of assorted items in food stores at cost. The food stores will pick on an item and buy a million of them and sell them at cost. They have done it with all manner of consumer goods, all to build the traffic in the food stores. Sure shakes up the computer sellers, however they are standard as boxed items and you cannot make any choice other than yes/no. The SD shops will make a custom items for you, but not the grocer chain(supermarket). Some day this might take off here. Bill
