Knighty Tin, We have had them in the past in PA also. One thing I noted that was not mentioned in the media is that when they removed the sales tax which is 6% (in PA it was only removed for computers during August 02 and 03 I believe) the merchants increased the prices 10% to make up for it. I knew because I was window shopping prices before and during. I couldn't believe none of the local papers reported on that at the time. Best, Roebear
