BTW sales tax is unavoidable AFAIK unless you ship to a sales tax free state. purchase a pc from micron, and live in california, no sales tax is paid by individuals. but ca does tax corporations on the same purchase, the corp, must file to pay the tax, not micron.

OT: Technically, sales tax is avoidable. You simply order from a state outside that in which you live. I live in CA, and don't have to pay sales tax unless the sale is "made" in CA, i.e. unless the company is in CA. Now, I do have to report a utility tax, but let's say that may or may not happen all the time. To me, this has been an advantage - ordering from out of state companies on big-ticket items has in fact saved me money. Mike
